    While I get it, sponsors are what enable the content you watch to even exist. It’s one thing if it’s youtube ads, but those sponsors are directly partnered with and paying content creators. On the other hand, Patreon is really the best way to go for content you truly care about.

      I’m 100% not going to buy anything from those sponsored segments.

      Also, there is a white list option for your favorite creators

      Do they actually lose anything from these sponsorships if you just skip that part? Because that’s basically what the addon does. I’m not sure these sponsorships go as far as looking at minutes watched or whatever, I assumed it’s a pre-agreed amount.

        must be, because half of them have the sponsor segment as its own chapter in the video, making it super easy to skip. I don’t imagine they would make it as easy if they really wanted you to watch it.

      I’m sure parent is totally fine being subsidized by all the people not running it.
