I whitelist tomatoanus in sponsorblock just to follow his ad-read lore. Thats peak advertising.

Honestly, Grim Kleapers ads are almost a highlight to me. Such a memelord, wacky and entertaining.

Mac ,

I do appreciate when they put actual effot in but with Sponsorblock i rarely see them. This meme still applies for when they get passed sponsorblock though lol

Sponsorblock

How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it’s instantly one of my favorites.

Thank you!!

For anyone in a similar boat:

After Ublock, its easily my favourite addon

We will dive into the history of this franchise, but fir—
The franchise began in 1967, when…

On that note… Also take a look at DeArrow

dearrow.ajay.app

Same dev as SponsorBlock, same concept, just for YT Titles and thumbnails.

Users can submit titles that better describe the contents and pick a neutral thumbnail.

ILikeBoobies ,

Also request a demo if you don’t want to pay, it will get approved

Mac ,

i also have DeArrow and it’s such a subtle change that you don’t even realize until you’re browsing the Tube on another device. Hoooly shit. i could feel the pressure from all the clickbait.

Baku ,

Don’t forget to upvote good segments and downvote bad ones. Segments that are downvoted enough get hidden or removed. That’s a pretty big part of how they prevent malicious people (possibly with outside instances) from trying to sabotage the network

Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?

I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.

Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)

new_guy ,

Any idea of why is that?

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

YouTube does not have any customers in Albania

ours ,

I’ve read they aren’t legally allowed to show ads in some countries.

Ice Cream Sandwich, Martincitopants and NakeyJakey have me going back after sponsorblock skips it, it’s just so entertaining i’ll take the ad at this point

spiffpitt ,

you can whitelist channels in sponsorblock

I do this for tomatoanus skits as well, those are usually pretty off the wall. My man has an entire storyline saga going on in his ad read sections.

TheFriar ,

Danny Gonzalez definitely makes them pretty good too. But I feel like the original ones to make ads entertaining were MBMBAM in the early years. Griffin’s songs, their stupid ass bits? The money zone had me cracking the fuck up. That takes something special for me.

TheRealKuni ,

Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.

Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.

TheFriar ,

I’ve been going back through early MBMBAM lately. Goddamn, it was pretty much peak podcasting. I stand by that. Early-mid harmontown, early-mid MBMBAM, maybe the first two seasons of My Dad Wrote a Porno, and maybe the first few seasons of Slow Burn. The best podcasts have to offer, I think.

TheRealKuni ,

Also Hello Internet (RIP).

Catoblepas ,

MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.

Turious ,

Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.

MimicJar ,

Nobbleberry is my favorite show.

Notyou ,

I was going to post Erik, if no one else did. His ads are so good.

Muffi ,

He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads

MrQuallzin ,

‘TomSka and Friends’ has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they’ve done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don’t skip

drcobaltjedi ,

I loved his video complaining about his search for surfshark’s limit on ads, going insane in the process, not finding it, and then just doing a deadpan delivery of surfshark at the end.

pepperjacques ,

Even though he reuses a particular gag format in his ad segments, I do like TheWhyFiles ads

germtm_ ,

me using SponsorBlock: what ad?

cRazi_man ,

I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.

sparkle ,

REAL

AnxiousDuck ,

TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!

This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people’s lives.

Baguette ,

I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

dubyakay ,

Sound about right.

ILikeBoobies ,

Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934

Baku ,

Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else

ILikeBoobies ,

Using commas looks weird here. You never really see anything other than spaces unless it’s foreign

psud ,

I was taught to use spaces for thousands in Canberra

the_beber ,

And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.

x4740N ,

What is dearrow ?

AnxiousDuck ,

https://dearrow.ajay.app/ is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

x4740N ,

Oh cool it’s made by the same person that made sponserblock

x4740N ,

Ditto

Terrapinjoe ,

Map Men’s ads are honestly worth watching

Squire’s ads are better than the actual vids of some other YTers…

Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn’t skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

Oh, sick, new Bringus post? I’ll be in my bunk.

criitz ,

Acerola has cat videos on the side while he talks about his sponsor. I have sat thru it to watch the kitty.

shininghero ,

The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays’ videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.
