    I like Steve Mould’s ad reads. He does science content and seems to only advertise products and services he uses, so his ads are mostly straight “this is what I like about the product, what makes it different to alternatives, this is why I use it, this is the stuff they told me to say”

    He’s one of the few YouTubers I actually believe when he says a product is good

      I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.

      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.

        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?

            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

          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.

    I do appreciate when they put actual effot in but with Sponsorblock i rarely see them. This meme still applies for when they get passed sponsorblock though lol

    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 :)
