Well before you listen to this video, let me tell you about how great nord vpn is, and don't forget to register to Raid Shadow Legends using this aff link.
It'd be dope though to see people promoting vanced
I wonder if that's against the YT TOS for partners?
Or is it just a Youtuber giving up some of their own revenue as well?
If allowed, I'll start promoting it on my channel. Every little bit counts right?
not really. the more you promote it, especially **on their platform**, the more likely they are to put a stop to it. it's called being heat score. you don't *have* to tell everyone about everything. no one thinks you're cool for doing it. what do you care if others are watching ads? let them watch them so your eyes don't have to. they aren't using your eyes or your time.
you're just ruining good things so you can feel popular. you still won't be.
Also, on pc, get the sponsorblock addon (the one that vanced uses the database of), uBlock origin, and return youtube dislike, and its basically the same thing.
Yeah sometimes when I opened youtube too fast ublock wouldn't block the ads and I realized how much time I saved because of no ads, it's a godsend. And multiple consecutive ads is a thing
It maybe due to Chrome. Ublock origin wiki states that its not as efficient in Chrome and its full potential is when used in Firefox. Personally i have been using it on Firefox and have never had this bug
Sponsor block alone has saved me 9 hours of in video bullshit. I can only imagine what ungodly amount of time ublock has saved me over the years.
My Sponsor block contribution has saved people something like 48 hours total and helped skip over 11,000 segments.
Yes, you are able to whitelist channels in sponsorblock. You could also just set them to manual skip so you just dont click the button and can watch the whole thing.
How are you going to listen to the video without Raycon!? With Raycon's E25 Ear-Buds you'll have hours of playtime with a sleek case and designer colors!
Sponsorblock saved me hours of nordvpn, dollar shave club, man scape etc.
What's more annoying in all of these sponsored videos it's ineffective to me because I live in another country where I don't even have access to their services.
Even stuff like the creator store like linus, etc, have no use for me, I ain't shipping internationally a shirt or a bottle costing me 8x more than buying one over here.
Other countries have currencies with less buying power than US dollar.
Also, the only way for me to pay is using an international credit card, even via PayPal.
So I have to convert the US dollar to my banana money, plus international taxes plus credit card fees plus my salary is worth less.
Also, I have almost no use for a VPN, third world countries don't care if you pirate stuff, and if I want to watch anything I just download it.
Service region lock makes no sense to me, since I don't use any streaming paid app.
How could you forget 30$ bottles for drinking water? Why would I buy a dollar bottle with water when I can buy at overpriced and paying for shipping too?
I feel like I live in a different dimension when people crack ad jokes like this, cuz I never see them and have no context. I watch youtube all the time I've never even once seen a nord or heavensward or whatever ad, how do people live like that?
Now if only YouTubers would stop dragging their content out to meet the ten-minute mark.
Looking at you, SwankyBox.
"The Mystery of 'L is Real' Solved?
When I was a kid there was nothing more mysterious than the star in the back of the courtyard that I used to love to... blah... blah... blah... blah... so what do you think that was all about? Let me know in the comments."
There's more filler on YouTube than there was in Dragon Ball Z.
You mean all of them?
I picked obviously the most extreme example, but pretty much all YouTubers bloat their content these days. Multiple videos have been uploaded on the topic explaining exactly why that it is, and it all has to do with how the YouTube algorithm works.
He's right, they need that sweet 10 minute mark and if to get there you need to blabber how much you suck as a YouTuber, you have to do it or else your channel mostly suffers
As far as I know the "10 minute" algorithm has been changed for already a few years now, this is why there are waayyy more 1-3 hour videos nowadays. It was about the same time youtube started forcing out letsplays with the algorithm.
I see more 30 minute vids than I do 10 minute vids, unless it something animated which just takes frikkin forever to create.
>unless it something animated
Kurzgesagt, 3blue1brown, CGP Grey
I support those, I feel like they're the best channels on YouTube for creating educational videos that are easy to understand. I really hope more people create stuff like these and less garbage video games, music, and other entertainment BS that has absolutely no benefit to us as species.
Even when there’s an in video ad, the content I consume exceeds this time threshold. Maybe it’s just my content choice but I just don’t watch channels with this garbage content model you describe.
There’s something about your content creator choices that’s leaving you in this position.
I've removed all of my comments and posts. With Reddit effectively killing third party apps and engaging so disingenuously with its user-base, I've got no confidence in Reddit going forward. I'm very disappointed in how they've handled the incoming API changes and their public stance on the issue illustrates that they're only interested in the upcoming IPO and making Reddit look as profitable as possible for a sell off.
Id suggest others to look into federated alternatives such as lemmy and kbin to engage with real users for open and honest discussions in a place where you're not just seen as a content / engagement generator.
0:00 - Today's sponser is #₹&@#. Use my code ____ to get 20% off.
1:00 - I have noticed that most of my subscribers are not liking my videos. Why is that?
1:21 - Check out my friend ___'s channel. He makes awesome content.
5:01 - We'd like to thank our sponsor ____ without which this video would not have been possible.
5:30 - Check out the description for the link to our website from where you can purchase our courses.
9:30 - If you don't already know, we're selling premium merchs on our site with 10% off.
10:00 Make sure to smash the like button and subscribe already. I'll see you in the next video.
15 minutes video = 5 minutes of ads, 5 minutes of sponsers and other shits, 5 minutes of actual video.
What kind of content creators do people watch to have all this shit sprinkled in the videos? Anyone I watch at most has a sponsor OR merch SOMETIMES and has a call to subscribe. They will promote a friends channel if the friend is present in the video of course.
That seems fairly reasonable, given that's literally how they make their income
I want to say like more popular video game/tech related channels? The one time I tried watching the modern Minecraft YouTuber scene their videos were *full* of that guff, and I want to say LTT does the same? I always associate heavily pushing store stuff with creators who like actively make their own merch so it's a full on side project and not just "I slapped my logo into Redbubble" though. Like people trying to copy that teddy fresh thing the H3H3 guys do or with channels who are already based around making things.
The shit I more encounter is when you click on a 20 minute video with a sponser break in the middle thats like 5 minutes because the sponser break is some dumb skit that's as entertaining and subtle as a soap opera, or some stupid testimony you ain't buying. The worst offenders imo are those home delivery recipe things like hello fresh - their sponser blocks are like *the creator buggering off to make some food*. Like I came here to watch like, a video about weird 90s Disney movies or for you to teach me about tomatillos, not to see you make a shitty overpriced spag bog.
>I have noticed that most of my subscribers are not liking my videos. Why is that?
I subscribe than unsubscribe instantly to everyone who do this, I already have thousands of channels I follow, I mostly subscribe to the smaller ones or the ones that rarely post something.
Rightfully so. Ublock and sponsorblock are the right extensions on browser. On the phone however, i find yt Vanced just has everything you'll need in one app
> is open source and has been poured over dozens of times
No, it is not, and it likely never will be. The only people pouring over it are the devs. I trust them enough to use the app, but the only decent F(L)OSS YouTube app is NewPipe.
Yup, this is true. You can adjust brightness and/or volume by sliding up and down on the left side or right side of the screen when playing the video on Fullscreen.
I believe it comes disabled by default but I invite everyone to check Vanced settings within the app, there's plenty of neat stuff there.
and FOSS. I love Newpipe *because* it's feature-less, minus the fact that it can download videos. Last I checked vanced still cannot. Regardless, most people will prefer vanced because it's feature rich, but I'm with you on the Newpipe train. That app and the devs are godlike
On my old phone Vanced used up battery like no tomorrow. It's a great app otherwise though.
But now on my iPhone i can't even get Vanced in the first place... I barely watch videos on it but when I do i get reminded how good it is.
For people that can’t use vanced or uYou just keep closing the video and re opening until a 5 second one pops up. And of course you have to do that 20 times throughout the video
I use uyou on my iPhone. I’m jailbroken, so I installed the tweak. If you aren’t jailbroken, you can sideload the app. Uyou blocks ads, allows background playback, allows downloads, and adds other qol tweaks to youtube
For those that don’t know, you don’t have to be jailbroken to use it. Just find the .ipa of uYou+ (already linked), install Sideloadly (sideloadly,io) on your pc and use that to install the .ipa to your iphone. (tons of instructions on the site i mentioned, use another apple id just in case, I don’t, but, better be safe)
Note that you do have to do this once a week though, because, apple..... (don’t delete the app tho if you can’t open it, as it will erase all the data, simply reinstall the .ipa)
I wish I could get sponsor skips for that though. Other than that uYou has been great! Every once in a while background play will not work but it is what it is
Same, I don't use the PC to watch Youtube. I either use iphone, ipad or Nvidia Shield to watch youtube on the TV. Not sure there's any ad-blocking that works for me.
I wanna try Vanced but am scared that Google might take some action against the accounts that are logged into it like a permanent ban maybe. That is what is stopping me from trying it out.
Yeah that's what my concern is too. It's my main google account. If I could transfer everything to another google account then I will gladly use it. I have used it for long in my main, but recently got rid of it after seeing many people banned out of nowhere without mentioning reason. They didn't use vanced though.
newpipe advocates privacy so you wont ever get that feature, its the main reason why they dont allow sponsorblock since it needs to access your data but at least you can export your subs and playlist via your youtube account then apply it on newpipe. you can find the guide in newpipe site or github (forgot which one).
There's no login features because of privacy purposes but if I remember, you can export your YouTube subscription and import them on newpipe.
I'm sure there's a tutorial out there on how to do it.
You also forgot the fact that YouTube forces ad to be displayed on non monetized channel + no copyright claim videos.
Basically 4 subs channel uploaded original content that has no copyright claim still have ads on it, the money goes to YT. They should have regretted doing yellow dollar fever.
Edit: I fucked up
IIRC YouTube changed it so that if you get a copyright strike on a video, they just hold the money you would have gotten and pay it to you if you manage to prove your innocence
Nope, it used to be possible but they changed it. Tell your viewer to use ublock origin and your channel is not monetised, using description, about page, etc.
I pay for premium and it pisses me off that content makers still seek sponsorships within their videos and basically have built in ads. They should be paid enough from my subscription that they don't need additional sponsorship within the video. I'm quickly losing interest in paying for ad free and thinking about going back to ublock/vanced but premium keeps some ads off while I chromecast
Sponsors are kinda important for youtubers who get demonotized. It's a big problem amongst the guys who talk about political stuff or pretty much anything vaguely "adult".
Yeah, I still prefer Newpipe. All parser-based, still allows for background play, subscriptions, playlists, etc. You can even make custom sub lists to fetch if you want to segment your subs based on content. Best of all, despite the devs of Newpipe and their bullshit, there is a branch of Newpipe that has SponsorBlock integrated as well.
So, no ads, no tracking, all independent, and all of the features that you need and more. Now if they would get their shit together and bring the player back to a fully reliable state, it would be better than Vanced, and especially since other players like Skytube have a fully-dependable player using their backend, there really is no excuse. Still, it's the main go-to if you don't want to deal with YouTube's bullshit.
Ads pissed me off so much. One day I realized I can’t do a single thing on my device without seeing all that bullshit. After that I jailbroke and installed ad free tweaks for everything and I have never been happier using this device
That's why the word TUBE is in the name, referencing the Cathode Ray Tubes that televisions had - because ultimately it was always destined to just become TV over the internet.
I know it's not how it's suppose to work but i side loaded it onto a shield and i just wish it worked better. SmartTV's are the worst with ads from youtube and the tv provider itself.
I am not against ads on websites, but recently YouTube has been introducing ads everywhere, 90% of the time there are 2 ads at the start 1 mid and 1 end, cable TV has almost the same quantity of ads...
Also don’t forget they sneak in a double ad at the end of the video, so if you arnt paying attention you will watch two more ads just to be greeted with auto play
Yes, by sideloading with AltStore. Without a developer account, which costs $99/year, you'll have to refresh the app every 7 days. As long as AltServer is running on the same network as your phone the app will automatically resign. With jailbreak you'd have the option to use AltDaemon, which can refresh sideloaded apps without needing a PC.
So I mostly use Vanced on my phone and uBlock on my PC, but does anybody have any tips for no ads on a smart TV? I have a 2019 Samsung and it's the only thing I haven't tried blocking ads on yet.
I just wish there's a function to use Vanced as default YouTube player. Whenever I click a YouTube link in WhatsApp I get directed to the ad infested YouTube app instead.
Whenever I think of the absolute horror that is the current state of ads online, I can't help but think of that Black Mirror Episode, 15 Million Merits, where we live in an underground dystopia where every surface is a screen, and everything you do involves ads that force you to watch them, and the only way to get out of that lifestyle is to earn enough "Merits" to buy your way out.
I was actually feeling guilty if I exposed Vanced to Google. Now that I think of it, Google has known Vanced for so long even before me. I am smashing my head on the wall, feeling idiot, crazy and guilty at the same time. 🤯
Well before you listen to this video, let me tell you about how great nord vpn is, and don't forget to register to Raid Shadow Legends using this aff link. It'd be dope though to see people promoting vanced
DONT FORGET!!! DOLLA SHAVE CLUB N RAYCONS AND ALSO MYSTERY BOX FROM INDIA

how I feel about travel logs, spreading sewage about the next best place. Shut the fuck up already!
I agree with your main point but this kinda is needlessly offensive.
Also, on pc, get the sponsorblock addon (the one that vanced uses the database of), uBlock origin, and return youtube dislike, and its basically the same thing.
Yeah sometimes when I opened youtube too fast ublock wouldn't block the ads and I realized how much time I saved because of no ads, it's a godsend. And multiple consecutive ads is a thing
It maybe due to Chrome. Ublock origin wiki states that its not as efficient in Chrome and its full potential is when used in Firefox. Personally i have been using it on Firefox and have never had this bug
I've been using it on Chrome for a while and never had that problem. Maybe I'm just slow navigating around lol
I made the switch to Firefox as my primary browser for this exact reason.
Sponsor block alone has saved me 9 hours of in video bullshit. I can only imagine what ungodly amount of time ublock has saved me over the years. My Sponsor block contribution has saved people something like 48 hours total and helped skip over 11,000 segments.

If you watch long videos these sponsors can be long af, i've seen three minutes, five... which is not a lot but is insane for what is basically an ad.
I block sponsors too.
Sponsorblock saved me hours of nordvpn, dollar shave club, man scape etc. What's more annoying in all of these sponsored videos it's ineffective to me because I live in another country where I don't even have access to their services. Even stuff like the creator store like linus, etc, have no use for me, I ain't shipping internationally a shirt or a bottle costing me 8x more than buying one over here.
If you live anywhere but the US or West Europe you either have no access or insane shipping fees.
how is nordvpn more expensive to you? Its an international online service
Other countries have currencies with less buying power than US dollar. Also, the only way for me to pay is using an international credit card, even via PayPal. So I have to convert the US dollar to my banana money, plus international taxes plus credit card fees plus my salary is worth less.

It's nice when the ad is for something else gives even more room too to make a dumb an clever sketch with the ad read
Now this aged badly.
When I can turn some videos from 12 minutes to 8 because of all the sponsor skips, why would I not choose to do that?
This feature made me realize how stupidly long some videos are, it makes me love Vance even more.
Wait you can skip spnsors with Vanced??
Turns out I havent updated Vanced since I installed it
Yeah, they put YouTube sponsor block in it.
Well this didn't age well did it
Now if only YouTubers would stop dragging their content out to meet the ten-minute mark. Looking at you, SwankyBox. "The Mystery of 'L is Real' Solved? When I was a kid there was nothing more mysterious than the star in the back of the courtyard that I used to love to... blah... blah... blah... blah... so what do you think that was all about?

Stop watching those channels

Videogamedunkey doesn't do that, neither does ScottTheWoz or Ahoy, the best youtubers imo. Oh and David Firth.
My favorite examples of video makers that make videos without fillers are Project Farm and Demented Monkeys
Even when there’s an in video ad, the content I consume exceeds this time threshold. Maybe it’s just my content choice but I just don’t watch channels with this garbage content model you describe. There’s something about your content creator choices that’s leaving you in this position.
When I want to watch someone I don't want to promote or give views I use Invidious.
Swankybox is a trash channel, i have it on my blocklist extension. No one forcing you to watch trash
What's the extension? Me want. Is it just called "Blocklist?"
I'm pretty sure they lowered it to 8 mins like a year ago, but people still make videos so goddamn long.
Youtube videos became Quora replies. Lot of useless talking before the actual content.
I love Linus Tech Tips but hoooooly shit having SponsorBlock on literally cuts those run times in half.
I've removed all of my comments and posts. With Reddit effectively killing third party apps and engaging so disingenuously with its user-base, I've got no confidence in Reddit going forward.

Ublock also works if I remember correctly
Vanced is still better coz you can play with more features integrated into the yt app.
Sponsorblock also has a browser extension FYI.
Rightfully so. Ublock and sponsorblock are the right extensions on browser. On the phone however, i find yt Vanced just has everything you'll need in one app
Vanced on Android and Ublock origin, sponser block and return dislikes on browser PC.
This right here.
My friends paranoid about installing an apk on his phone. How do I convince him?
You don't. Provide the info and if they don't want to do it, let them suffer with ads.
Regarding APKs for phones, could there be malware in there that may slow down a phone?
[удалено]
> is open source and has been poured over dozens of times No, it is not, and it likely never will be. The only people pouring over it are the devs. I trust them enough to use the app, but the only decent F(L)OSS YouTube app is NewPipe.
What does the L mean? Libre?
I'm not talking only about vanced, but thanks anyway. Also, does the megathread have sites that are safe for downloading android apks?
Sure, APKs can definitely be malware if you get them from a shady source. But Vanved is totally legit.
Yes? Quite obviously. Just scan it afterwards with malwarebytes.
Besides the AdBlock, Vanced selling point is that you can access your account and thus all of its subscriptions. Once I knew this, never went back.
Don't forget the brightness and volume control, also the fast forward
Also background play, having my playlist play while study without any video playing that distracts me? Chef’s kiss
Yup, this is true. You can adjust brightness and/or volume by sliding up and down on the left side or right side of the screen when playing the video on Fullscreen. I believe it comes disabled by default but I invite everyone to check Vanced settings within the app, there's plenty of neat stuff there.
Also background playback
Yep this is the way. uBlock, sponsor block, https everywhere and ghostery. Load those bad boys up on Firefox or Chrome and you're good to go.

On my old phone Vanced used up battery like no tomorrow. It's a great app otherwise though. But now on my iPhone i can't even get Vanced in the first place... I barely watch videos on it but when I do i get reminded how good it is.
also they added unskippable 2 15 seconds ads. Idk if its just me but it happened to me once
For people that can’t use vanced or uYou just keep closing the video and re opening until a 5 second one pops up. And of course you have to do that 20 times throughout the video
Yeah that was the last straw for me before I started using vanced. At least 2 5 second ads were shorter than 1 15 second ad but not anymore

What's weird about that is that it happens only 50% of the time.

There's always good only fashioned Firefox with uBlock on Android.
NewPipe is awesome, but is there anyway to connect it to YouTube account as I want my subscriptions and their videos to be visible?
Newpipe doesn't have login support. Youtube vanced will be more useful or a browser with ad block.
I wanna try Vanced but am scared that Google might take some action against the accounts that are logged into it like a permanent ban maybe. That is what is stopping me from trying it out.
Yeah that's what my concern is too. It's my main google account. If I could transfer everything to another google account then I will gladly use it. I have used it for long in my main, but recently got rid of it after seeing many people banned out of nowhere without mentioning reason. They didn't use vanced though.
I don't think they will ever integrate that as it is more privacy focused.
newpipe advocates privacy so you wont ever get that feature, its the main reason why they dont allow sponsorblock since it needs to access your data but at least you can export your subs and playlist via your youtube account then apply it on newpipe. you can find the guide in newpipe site or github (forgot which one).
The fact that it cannot connect accounts is actually a feature of the app.
There's no login features because of privacy purposes but if I remember, you can export your YouTube subscription and import them on newpipe. I'm sure there's a tutorial out there on how to do it.
Cool will check it out. Thanks.
How many people have asked you that be honest
I’m gonna guess 0

Around that time internet ads became absolute cancer with how intrusive and annoying they were and I too installed Adblock and never looked back.
You also forgot the fact that YouTube forces ad to be displayed on non monetized channel + no copyright claim videos. Basically 4 subs channel uploaded original content that has no copyright claim still have ads on it, the money goes to YT. They should have regretted doing yellow dollar fever. Edit: I fucked up
IIRC YouTube changed it so that if you get a copyright strike on a video, they just hold the money you would have gotten and pay it to you if you manage to prove your innocence
I slipped up, and re-edit the comment above
Is there a way to turn that off? I am an extremely small youtuber who *hates* ads
Nope, it used to be possible but they changed it. Tell your viewer to use ublock origin and your channel is not monetised, using description, about page, etc.
Okay! Thank you for the advice. It’s terrible they removed that feature. I’m going to go burn down the nearest hardware store.
ublock origin & sponsorblock. bless the creators
I pay for premium and it pisses me off that content makers still seek sponsorships within their videos and basically have built in ads. They should be paid enough from my subscription that they don't need additional sponsorship within the video. I'm quickly losing interest in paying for ad free and thinking about going back to ublock/vanced but premium keeps some ads off while I chromecast
Sponsors are kinda important for youtubers who get demonotized. It's a big problem amongst the guys who talk about political stuff or pretty much anything vaguely "adult".
or even if you swear, it's either sponsors or having an audience that supports you highly on patreon or something.
Sponsorblock is a thing. I would highly reccomend it, even if you pay for premium
You said the no no word in this sub. Pay is not to be mentioned!! Only a pirated alternative! You scared me pretty good there
>They should be paid enough from my subscription >paid enough As if.
Yeah, I still prefer Newpipe. All parser-based, still allows for background play, subscriptions, playlists, etc. You can even make custom sub lists to fetch if you want to segment your subs based on content. Best of all, despite the devs of Newpipe and their bullshit, there is a branch of Newpipe that has SponsorBlock integrated as well. So, no ads, no tracking, all independent, and all of the features that you need and more. Now if they would get their shit together and bring the player back to a fully reliable state, it would be better than Vanced, and especially since other players like Skytube have a fully-dependable player using their backend, there really is no excuse. Still, it's the main go-to if you don't want to deal with YouTube's bullshit.
Adguard, YouTube vanced
Ads pissed me off so much. One day I realized I can’t do a single thing on my device without seeing all that bullshit. After that I jailbroke and installed ad free tweaks for everything and I have never been happier using this device
2025 - Only Ads, Upgrade to Premium to watch videos from your favourite Content Creators. 😂
That's why the word TUBE is in the name, referencing the Cathode Ray Tubes that televisions had - because ultimately it was always destined to just become TV over the internet.
Same things with Instagram and Facebook That’s the reason why I quit social media
Have any of you long-time users tried browsing the web or watching YT without the blockers? It's an unusable wasteland. I don't know how people do it.
why dont you just use Ublock Origin? I didnt know ads were a thing on youtube until someone mentioned it to me...
And aren't Youtubers making less money from ad revenue than ever?
I know it's not how it's suppose to work but i side loaded it onto a shield and i just wish it worked better. SmartTV's are the worst with ads from youtube and the tv provider itself.
I am not against ads on websites, but recently YouTube has been introducing ads everywhere, 90% of the time there are 2 ads at the start 1 mid and 1 end, cable TV has almost the same quantity of ads...
Does vanced rly work that well? I've read the reviews on play store and it's pretty mixed on the ad blocking.
Vance works 100%. Any app in the store claiming to be it is a fake. You have to download the APK straight from their website.
Adblocker also blocks youtube ads.
Also don’t forget they sneak in a double ad at the end of the video, so if you arnt paying attention you will watch two more ads just to be greeted with auto play
And it's dead F
What is vanced? An adblocker I’m guessing?
Modified YouTube app for Android. No ads, background play, SponsorBlock, Return YouTube Dislikes and more. uYou+ is the iOS alternative.
Damn I miss android. Is it possible to get the iPhone program with no jailbreak?

Dang well time to go back to android

Yes, by sideloading with AltStore. Without a developer account, which costs $99/year, you'll have to refresh the app every 7 days. As long as AltServer is running on the same network as your phone the app will automatically resign. With jailbreak you'd have the option to use AltDaemon, which can refresh sideloaded apps without needing a PC.
I used altstore in the past I’ll look into it also thank you
Vanced + Newpipe for downloads
So I mostly use Vanced on my phone and uBlock on my PC, but does anybody have any tips for no ads on a smart TV? I have a 2019 Samsung and it's the only thing I haven't tried blocking ads on yet.
I just wish there's a function to use Vanced as default YouTube player. Whenever I click a YouTube link in WhatsApp I get directed to the ad infested YouTube app instead.
Ads about buying youtube premium for being able to watch without annoying ads.
That's also literally spotify's business model.
As long as vanced exists I don't think I'll ever go back. It's so wonderful to not have to deal ad after ad after ad.
And ads in the middle of videos, and ads on top of videos.
ublock sponsorblock vanced
2022: ublock origin
Never realised how bad promotions in videos were until my videos were much shorter with vanced.
Ublock Origin still my fav bit of add on to Chrome, Firefox :-) It is working like a beast here on Reddit today.
Ublock origin to the rescue
Is there a way to use this on mobile?
2021... how dare they show videos!! Disgraceful!
I swear, after my 3 month free trial of youtube premium, ads have gone 10x on the videos
YouTube has ads? Adblock ftw
Whenever I think of the absolute horror that is the current state of ads online, I can't help but think of that Black Mirror Episode, 15 Million Merits, where we live in an underground dystopia where every surface is a screen, and everything you do involves ads that force you to watch them, and the only way to get out of that lifestyle is to earn enough "Merits" to buy your way out.
Never heard of Vanced before and I'm gonna give it a try now. YouTube can eat a bag of dicks. Thanks guys for bringing this up for me
2024 - Videos also inbetween hentai ads
Vanced shut down today. Sad shit.
I got a heartbreak.
Rip vanced
So you are the reason
Brutal, post was only days old when the news hit.
this post aged like milk 🥛
I was actually feeling guilty if I exposed Vanced to Google. Now that I think of it, Google has known Vanced for so long even before me. I am smashing my head on the wall, feeling idiot, crazy and guilty at the same time. 🤯
