SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV. Complete with SponsorBlock and everything.

Blocking YouTube ads I support.

Sponsorblocker is just shitty. That money goes directly to the content creators, not Google. It hurts the wrong people.

Besides, you can fast-forward those.

Does SponsorBlock automatically skipping vs me manually scrubbing actually make any difference to what the creator receives in compensation?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No, I doubt the analytics software can tell the difference. It just sees the user skip from timestamp X to Y

Besides what others have said, many YouTubers that include sponsor segments get paid a flat rate for doing so before/when the video is published. They don't get recurring revenue based on sponsor segments, only from YouTube ads.

I refuse to watch ads anywhere, sorry.

I use SponsorBlock because I pay for YT Premium.

Yeah, I'm personally cool with sponsorships and I rock uBlock Origin
