What about sponsor block?

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Freetube has Sponsorblock built-in.

Most of the channels I watch with inline sponsor roll from the creator, they do a good job, and I am entertained by it.

Obtrusive ads are frustrating.

Perfectly integrated, entertaining, on-brand ads from creators I appreciate? No problem.

You have the option to disable sponsorblock in freetube.

I don't care. I was giving you the opportunity to inform others about something you think is cool. You blew it.
