Install an ordinary ad blocker and your video experience will be completely ad-free without needing YT Premium.

  Sorry, but an ordinary ad blocker will not block the ads embedded in the video. Apparently "SponsorBlock" actually solves that. Haven't of it before, but the description is promising. >>> SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sponsorblock-for-youtube/mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sponsorblock-for-yo...

    > Sorry, but an ordinary ad blocker will not block the ads embedded in the video. Yes, that's why I called it a replacement for YT Premium and not a replacement for SponsorBlock.

  With YT Premium the people you watch actually get paid even if you skip the ads.

    They would get paid slightly less though, since the premium revenue split is based on watchtime IIRC.

    The people I watch don't get paid from youtube ads, don't like youtube ads, don't like Youtube forcing ads on videos they do not want to put ads on, don't like random companies forcing ads onto a video THEY made based on some nonsense "contentID" system that is trivial to cheat, and can't rely on youtube not shutting down their channel over "copyright" reasons that aren't even valid. Patreon means all they have to do is exactly what they want to do, put that on the internet, and make a livable wage. This isn't exactly an isolated case either. Every youtube creator between 100k - 1 million "subscribers" is better served by just doing what they want and being supported by patrons. It is the single most direct and viable form of talent funding. Most of these creators actively dislike youtube, which is why they push their literal replacement; nebula.
