Maybe my extension will convince some youtubers to offer non sponsored videos on patreon. That would be the dream result of this extension. Even nebula (CGP Grey and Kurzgesagt's steaming platform) sadly doesn't enforce this.

Yes, that's why I don't store data I don't need. But of course, I agree with you. Don't trust anyone.

Yea, you could self host the server. But I want to work on easier ways soon. - SponsorBlock Developer

I'd love is someone ported it to be a user script. It is definitely possible. - sponsorblock dev

Yea, I'm scared of it too now. I never expected growth this fast.

Exactly. I made this only because I couldn't stand how deceptive many modern sponsors are. If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have wasted time making this. - sponsorblock dev

I dislike them due to the deceptiveness in many modern ones (neglecting to mention that they are sponsored). It still is obvious to most viewers, but not to people not familiar. - sponsorblock developer

Sponsorblock developer here. The best part is that I made the database completely public, so someone else can do "phase 2" without me even having to be involved :)

That's Google, and that would be suicide to the brand.

Almost every adblocker out there is free and open source for a reason.

I think it is that they are charging money.

That's probably it. Their vague terms make me suspicious.

Interesting. I mean, I am using it and it is working :) But yea, it's good that you made your own idea instead.

Cool project, interesting decision to monetize something like this though. I made SponsorBlock ( https://sponsor.ajay.app/ ), which is a similar premise for YouTube videos except free, open source, and with a publicly downloa

Looks cool. By the way, clicking play multiple times makes the whole animation glitch.

Yes, 720p and past is only stored on the google servers with audio and video seperate. So, the only way to watch at those resolutions is for invidious to pass through the video. I think there is a plan to get 1080p working though

Google has a history of disabling oath for services like these. There is also an invidious account system you can use to avoid using your Google account.

They definitely did. They said they did contact Gfycat and they said that they would extend the deadline a bit. They took that as them being okay with the archive and went fully forward at the speed to be able to get the archive done in the

Thanks for posting it, but I already made a post about it semi-recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20778926

They manage merging though, so it has to be a fork.

That works too, but encourages them to make sure you don't realize you are watching a sponsored segment until it is too late.

What do you mean? It should do that automatically.

lol okay. And, I was a kid a few days ago, not anymore :) In my reddit post complaining about this, people there actually thought this was part of the video and one of the "other things people should be worrying about". This isn&#

Someone made a program to view that, but sadly I wasn't given permission to host it publicly. Here is a link to it if you want to try it: https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/ckt0f4/i_made_a.

Yea, that turned out to be mostly the other guy's fault, but yea. That wasn't their first video where they did a sponsor like that, but it was the first I'd seen (I never watched their mars base one for some reason).
