A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Ublock will likely catch up, but you should also install sponsorblock. It uses user generated data, I.e someoen clicks "ad started and stopped here in the video" to skip not only YouTube ads, but ads done by youtuber directly, sponsorships/calls to action like buying merc, etc.
Its super good, and will work on tons of video. You can even help by being the one to click the "ad started/stop" time if you see an ad.
For me the holy trinity is:
I don't know about Dearrow, will check out. I have Ghostery as a n° 3>
Dearrow replaces clickbait titles and thumbnails for videos with non-clickbait equivalents. Users volunteer for updating titles using the same add-on that reflects for everyone else worldwide.
Video thumbnails are replaced by a random frame by default but you can submit a more appropriate frame as well.
On android Tubular is YouTube with these options. A fork of NewPipe.
I'll second sponsorblock, been using it for a while and it's made watching videos so much nicer
It's super good
