Sponsorblock for YouTube. It automatically skips over parts of videos where they try to get you to play Raid Shadow Legends.

Reminder to support creators in other ways if you're going to use this.

Edit: similarly, if you can afford it kick a few bucks to your Lemmy instance. We're about freedom as in speech, not as in freeloading, people. The whole reason the internet shifted to being ad and data collection based after the dotcom bubble is because no one wants to pay for anything.

You know creators get paid for the sponsor right? Not for if people watch that part or not.

Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.
