      This is included in the modded Android YouTube app ReVanced: https://revanced.app/

      That’s the official site with links to their github and socials, beware of the many fake sites with similar URLs.

        Basically. It’s community driven, so people have to mark sections of the video as an ad, or filler, or whatever else it may be. Then you can set it up to skip particular sections, mute during them, or other things.

        It makes it really easy to mark segments too, so while new or unpopular videos may not be marked when you watch them, it’s easy for you to add the marks for others who see it.

          I wish they could find a better solution because some people have terrible editing skills. I’ve seen far too many videos where dialog like “but first, a word from our sponsor” and “now back to the video” is still left in before/after the skip. The edit should be seamless, as if the sponsored segment was never there to begin with.

          That said, it’s still better than no SponsorBlock at all.

    As I was grabbing my things, the lady ringing me up at goodwill said “last but not least, your receipt.”

    I got to my car before I thought “what part of this transaction could be less than the receipt?”

        I use sponsorblock, it’s great, but it only applies to that type of streamer content/ad. And it doesn’t have full coverage for that. It doesn’t help if your streaming service has unskippable ads. And Google is inching closer to insert ads into the Youtube video stream dynamically which will make them truly unblockable.

        With Spotify you can’t even mute an ad without it pausing until you unmute.

          You’re being punished for bad behaviour. Paying for streaming services leads to unskippable ads. If you just torrented, you wouldn’t have to see ads anymore. In other words, doing the right thing comes with moral desserts in this case.

            An alternative for torrenting (if you’re willing to pay) is Stremio+Debrid-Link, which works like a streaming service but without any ads nor geo-locked content. Debrid-link is 3€ per month (if you buy 6 months), which is probably cheaper than paying for a VPN (e.g. Mullvad) for torrenting.

            Stremio has apps for W*ndows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, AndroidTV, SamsungTV, LG TV, Sony TV, Philips TV (even Meta Quest) and also you can use it in a web browser without an app (if any of your devices aren’t supported).

            The only downside is that sometimes movies/shows take some time before they’re available.

    Also, some people will type “without further adieu,” which is similarly infuriating.

      I can’t recall having ever seen it written down so I just assumed it was another French word/phrase bastardized by anglophones. It’s a reasonably safe assumption but certainly has its failings.

    Also this usually follows 2-3 minutes of just waffling about bullshit. It doesn’t help if you put your ‘further ado’ ahead of that statement either, jackass, just get to the damned point.

      Or concept instead of idea.

      A concept is the thinking that underlies the idea, or sometimes kind of an interlocking system of ideas that form an understanding.

        The only thing like this that actually frustrates me is people using “hung” instead of “hanged.” It’s so prevelant, even in TV and movies, that I’m wondering if “hung” is actually correct now because people use it that way so often.

    My favourite is a football channel who uses that line deliberately to drop additional lore about former DC United player Freddy Adu. Every 👏 Single 👏 Video 👏

    It’s great!

    the statement itself is part of the ado. Just say the thing you made the video to say
