I’d suggest paying for things like https://watchnebula.com/ https://watchnebula.com/ or a creator’s ad-free patreon version of videos is maybe a better path than trying to game the ad system? Or at least in conjunction with it.

Happily paying for Nebula as a creator-owned platform. I don't feel the slightest shred of guilt for cutting Google as a middleman nor for using an ad-block. Super happy it's a thing and have thoroughly enjoyed some of the Nebula originals.

How much does Nebula cost? I got to the "enter your card to start your free trial" step, and I still have no clue how much they charge.

  On the linked page, under the "start free trial" button, there's this: > 7-day free trial > then $5 per month or $50 per year

    You can get a much better deal than that. Sign up for Curiosity Stream using a promoted bundle link and you get Nebula free with it. It's only $12/year this way. Here's one from the LegalEagle guy: https://curiositystream.com/legaleagle/ https://curiositystream.com/legaleagle/

      That's true, but my comment was more pointing out that the price is there (it's not prominent though)

  You are not supposed to buy nebula through the nebula website. You are supposed to buy it through a creator referral link in a bundle with CuriosityStream. The price on the website has to be higher as to encourage you to use a referral, and to always make you get a "deal" from the sponsorship.

If Nebula existed before I created SponsorBlock, there is a high chance that I would have never created it. Though, I am happy that I ended up making it though, as there are other annoyances to skip like "interaction reminders" and intros. I think paying for sponsor-free videos is the best way out.
