I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.

I'm getting better at it though.

For real. I tried to show my dad a YouTube video on his phone not too long ago and just outright gave up after seeing that the duration of the ads would exceed the duration of the video. Revanced gang forever

Oh damn, did something replace vanced? I was super bummed out when mine stopped working and started watching youtube through brave browser on mobile.

Yeah, Revanced is an app that can apply patches to other apps (mainly YouTube)

I'm more of a Libretube or Newpipe x Sponsorblock guy but glad to revanced be successful nonetheless

I didn’t realize how bad some channels sponsor to content ratio was until I started using sponsorblock and got to see a representation of the ratios in the video timeline highlighted in color.

It’s definitely changed the game for me, even if I used to just use the “jog keys” to do the same thing.
