Why use sponsor block? I want to know what sponsors my videos have, because if I see a โ€œHoneyโ€ or a โ€œBetterhelpโ€ Iโ€™m gonna close the video.

With honey the youtuber was actually the victim, so I wouldnโ€™t judge them too harshly for that one. Small channels donโ€™t have the flexibility to pick whatever sponsor they like. Theyโ€™re just trying to get by.

Yeah, with a couple of podcasts I listen to, when the Honey stuff came out they did a whole thing about it and dropped Honey mid cycle, probably at a pretty big cost to themselves.

It still mildly irritates me because I had suspected they were doing this for a long time, but I canโ€™t really fault the podcasts I listen to for how they handled it.

I use yt to watch content not to express my political or ideological preferences. My goal is to watch as much content per second possible hence adblock sponsorblock and 2.5 speed.

All the worst sponsors also require a link in description and/or pinned comment so you can know either way.

With some YouTubers Iโ€™m the one who usually submits to sponsor block ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Also, thatโ€™s not an option on a tv.

Depends on your TV. If itโ€™s software is android based, there are aps available if you donโ€™t mind sideloading. Though I would recommend using something like a firestick to minimize the risk.

I mean, of the possible sponsors out there, Ground News is pretty alright. I donโ€™t particularly need another subscription, but it seems like a valuable enough service

It doesnโ€™t provide any real benefit other than letting you know whether a news site is โ€œleftโ€ or โ€œrightโ€ leaning. Which is a massive false dichotomy used to divide people.

I prefer objective truth myself.

Where is your source of objective truth?

The original source. Be it scientific white papers, court filings, executive orders, the actual text of bills submitted in the house and senate. Etc, etc.

You just have to put in the effort.

I wait for it to become so important that it ends up in the meme and shitpost communities.

Back in the day my primary source of news was World of Warcraft. If it was important enough to matter it would show up in the game. If it wasnโ€™t any way inconsequential I never heard of it.

Itโ€™s also very usable even without the subscription and doesnโ€™t have (its own) ads. Just use ad block if you want to actually read any of the articles.

From what I understand itโ€™s like the Metaverse but with sexualized underage anime characters.

Ground News aggregates articles from many sources on a single topic and it tells you whether or not each source tends to lean right or left. I think it even tells you if any of those sources leaves out certain pieces of information. Itโ€™s actually pretty sweet.

Ublock Origin in Firefox is my choice among all possible โ€˜sponsors.โ€™
