    I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as “introduction” “non-music” or “sponsor” and it automatically skip those sections for other users who arrive at that video. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.

      I would’ve read your comment l, but I’m using sponsorblock and it automatically blocked your comment.

      No, how about you let creators make the little money that they can. Oh wait, you support piracy, that’s right.

        They wouldn’t make money from me either way because I never buy stuff based on video sponsorships.

        Truth is, they get paid whether you watch the sponsored segment or not. Unlike pre-, mid- and post-roll ads which do not pay creators if they’re blocked (doesn’t stop me from blocking ads, but I support where I can, such as via merch purchases, using sponsor codes or watching exclusively on Nebula for creators who are on Nebula)
