    I mean, their advertising obviously worked. We all recognize those names even though more than half barely even do sponsorships anymore or not at all. Instead of making commercials look like memes they just flooded the internet and let us make the memes for them.

    I’m missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.

          This is Lemmy. You were required to hate on anything that makes money or anyone attempting to monetize anything.

          Everything must be free.

          as much as I love self-hosting it does get f****** over the top with how up their own ass. A lot of people around here are.

            This, plus the “anti-imperialism” which goes so far anti western imperialism that it goes round to being pro russian imperialism.

            It’s like a clown show here sometimes.

      I love sponsor block, it works pretty much flawlessly apart from when YouTube recommends me a video from literally 30 seconds ago, which is surprisingly often that I can now count it on 2 hands as of the last time I got a scarily new video on my feed,

        It’s funny that DeArrow has lead to me watching more videos with super click bait titles. It’s almost as if actually using the content for the title instead of some vague notion or off content question is more likely to pick a video to watch.

        I know there’s a reason channels do it but this is just my experience.

          Downside: Because you’re hiding the problem it doesn’t tell the creator in any way that people don’t like “arrow face” type thumbnails and clickbait titles.

          I also use it and it’s great, but… Yeah.

          It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The ‘arrow’ was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait

          It changes titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait. Seeing the youtube homepage without it is genuinely jarring–everyone is clawing at your attention. “Pick me, pick me!”

          There are different options but i have it set so the thumbnail is a random frame from the video. I think titles are ‘normalized’ and sometimes community generated.

      That’s the bit I hate the most about YouTube premium. You still have ad! What’s the fucking point is I have to get adblock for sponsors.

      Drop every single add, including embedded and we can have a discussion.

      I’m not going to be paying anyway though

    Idk if this is outdated or I just watch different content than OP, but I’ve been seeing mostly Helix & MeUndies the last year

      MeUndies are unironically excellent.

      Micromodal isn’t the sturdiest fiber so they do wear out eventually, but holy shit are they comfy.

      They’re overpriced, sure, but kind of worth it IMO.

      Only seen meundies on two channels so far. Not come across helix yet. Yt is large enough for you to be able to just completely miss a sponsor.

    I’d love to see the YouTube analytics of a handful of really popular videos that have embedded sponsors. Even before the “jump ahead” feature, there must be a massive drop-off of people who just skip five or ten seconds ahead until the sponsor isn’t showing again.

          Yeah but dank is also a bit of an audio snob. Hes rough on everything that your normal person would use. He’s not entirely wrong. But he is rough.

          I mean sure they arent good by any measure but for 70$ and after 4 years of near daily use in a shop with grinders and paint they’ve done what I needed them to, no complaints just no real complement either

        Yes, LTT for one was advertising it.

        It was weird seeing a product I develop custom modules for being advertised by them lol. Also, ERPs have such a high entry cost to get them working properly for your business, I don’t see who’d adopt one based on a YouTube sponsorship.

      I can’t say that without it rhyming with “cum”

      I know it’s got the umlaut, but… yknow… cmon.
