I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.

For real. I tried to show my dad a YouTube video on his phone not too long ago and just outright gave up after seeing that the duration of the ads would exceed the duration of the video. Revanced gang forever

Yeah, Revanced is an app that can apply patches to other apps (mainly YouTube)

I never removed Vanced and it still works, it’s just not maintained anymore so someday in the future it may not, when YouTube changes enough that makes it unable to function.

I didn’t realize how bad some channels sponsor to content ratio was until I started using sponsorblock and got to see a representation of the ratios in the video timeline highlighted in color.

It’s definitely changed the game for me, even if I used to just use the “jog keys” to do the same thing.
