I’ve been using the nightly build, using the desktop extensions for a while now. It’s SO worth it. In particular, the YouTube “SponsorBlock” is super convenient.
I have other tweaks and scripts that I have written for personal usage. Using nightly Firefox makes it so I can use those tweaks universally on desktop and phone.
While I get it, sponsors are what enable the content you watch to even exist. It’s one thing if it’s youtube ads, but those sponsors are directly partnered with and paying content creators. On the other hand, Patreon is really the best way to go for content you truly care about.
I find this take amusing. Blocking the ads means the content creator doesn’t get paid for those ads since they won’t get seen by those end users, but sponsor’s have already paid the creator for that part. Whether you watch it or not the money has already changed hands, all it does is automate you skipping those segments.
While I agree in the short term, video analytics still come into play for future sponsorships and payouts. Do you think a sponsor will be willing to continue paying a creator if their sponsor segments receive no watch time?

Why not just install revanced youtube?

I’m 100% not going to buy anything from those sponsored segments.

I’m sure parent is totally fine being subsidized by all the people not running it.
