Acerola has cat videos on the side while he talks about his sponsor. I have sat thru it to watch the kitty.
StyroPyro: “btw this table I’ve been using for the video? It’s great, they sent it to me free. Watch me try to light it on fire!!”
How can you skip that?!
PS: big F U to US health insurance industry: I’m sick in a bizarre and horrifying way
Insurance company : Oh you paid for insurance but we won’t cover your costs
Finally claims insurance after months of waiting
Hospital : You have an insurance so the bill is 8x higher but no you don’t need to pay all of them half is paid by insurance not you only have to pay 4x the money without insurance
but you have to pay the full amount anyway and go through insurance because you have a deductible that needs to be met because your annual physical isn’t supposed to happen until November when you get time off around Thanksgiving but you don’t want to have to pay the full non-insured price of this and not count it to your deductible when you KNOW that you’ll have to pay the full cost of that primary care visit and your 45-year-old colonoscopy coming up and everything is terrible.
Ordinary Sausage occasionally makes the ads amusing.
Ice Cream Sandwich, Martincitopants and NakeyJakey have me going back after sponsorblock skips it, it’s just so entertaining i’ll take the ad at this point
Danny Gonzalez definitely makes them pretty good too. But I feel like the original ones to make ads entertaining were MBMBAM in the early years. Griffin’s songs, their stupid ass bits? The money zone had me cracking the fuck up. That takes something special for me.
Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.
Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.
I’ve been going back through early MBMBAM lately. Goddamn, it was pretty much peak podcasting. I stand by that. Early-mid harmontown, early-mid MBMBAM, maybe the first two seasons of My Dad Wrote a Porno, and maybe the first few seasons of Slow Burn. The best podcasts have to offer, I think.
Also Hello Internet (RIP).
I do this for tomatoanus skits as well, those are usually pretty off the wall. My man has an entire storyline saga going on in his ad read sections.
you can whitelist channels in sponsorblock
Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?
I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.
Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)
Any idea of why is that?
YouTube does not have any customers in Albania
I’ve read they aren’t legally allowed to show ads in some countries.
MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.
Honestly, Grim Kleapers ads are almost a highlight to me. Such a memelord, wacky and entertaining.
Even though he reuses a particular gag format in his ad segments, I do like TheWhyFiles ads
MapMen. I still rewatch some of their ad skits just because they were catchy and fun.
Advertising shits in your brain.
Map Men’s ads are honestly worth watching
“I’d like a subscription to Skillshare (Skillshare!), a subscription to Skillshare is what I need…”
When I say “Skillsh”, you say “Air”!
Skillsh!
Air!
Skillsh!
Air!
Skillsh!
Air!
me using SponsorBlock: what ad?
Ditto
TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!
This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people’s lives.
What is dearrow ?
DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.
Oh cool it’s made by the same person that made sponserblock
I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person
For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?
Sound about right.
Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934
Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else
I was taught to use spaces for thousands in Canberra
Using commas looks weird here. You never really see anything other than spaces unless it’s foreign
And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.
I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.
REAL
this is Drew Gooden and The Yard for me. i have whitelisted them on sponsorblock because their ad reads are so fucking funny. also obligatory shoutout to Internet Comment Etiquette
Me whenever I watch SomeMoreNews and Cody has something for Ground News or he chokes down his favorite drink.
I’m happy ground.news is spreading… I got it on app release and haven’t regretted my sub years later.
Yep I’m a few months deep and still loving the features.
The sponsor ads work when they’re neatly aligned aligned with the video’s concept. It wouldn’t budge me to see a manufacturer sponsor a PC build video where one of their products are being used. Or channels like GradeA where they advertise the sponsors in a similar way to their vids.
What breaks it is when you can feel the ad clearly feels like a last minute insert (which it feels like almost all the time). Even the bigger creators out there do this.
So anyway, has any of you motherfuckers heard about Raids Shadow Legends?
Ad is an ad. Fuck them.
