  • SponsorBlock (by the same guy) to cut out in video ads

    I disagree. The main reason to adblock is to stop data collection and such for targeted advertising. Sponsors aren’t targeted and are one of the ethical ways content creators make money. Basically none of the sponsorship goes to YouTube

      Yeah, but I don’t want to hear each youtubers cover over the same ad prompt. Plus the youtuber got paid for the ad read already, so me skipping a sponsor read is perfectly fine, I wasn’t gonna click their link anyway.

      Yeah maybe you are right but I’m not going to buy anything that I see being advertised so there is no point in me sitting through the ad reads

      Meh, I can fast forward ads on my tv so this seems similar. Besides some people are excessive with their ads so they deserve out right bans of their sponsors.
