Is there an app (Foss preferably) that’s good for podcasts? So far I use Spotify but it’s ass backwards with playlists. I downloaded podverse but I can’t find any of the three podcasts I listen to on Spotify.
Browsing new or Hot and seeing 15 posts in a row to /imaginarytanks, /imaginarycars, /imaginaryaviation, etc. got old the 2nd time I’ve seen it. I’ve had to resort to blocking the communities and bot that’s just spamming for content.
Sponsors are not YouTube’s responsibility and they dont see money from it.
While it might increase Premium subscription rates, creators will be driven even further away from YouTube - if your content isnt ad monitised, and sponsors are getting blocked, why even upload?
So YouTube should build a way for creators to tag sponsor content, and a system to skip it. Despite them not profiting off said content.
It would just create a new arms war of disguising sponsor content, or only including little bits throughout the video. Can the system tolerate 3 sponsor blocks? What about 15 blocks, what about the sponsor playing in the little insert with no audio, how does the blocking work then? If the sponsorblock is imperfect, their official tool either removes legitimate content, or doesn’t work well enough - both piss off the viewer and have made the platform worse.
Or, YouTube accepts no responsibility for what does not cause them a lawsuit (like with DCMA/ContentID), or directly lose them money (ad blocking without premium).
If your preferred creators are putting scams or excessive sponsor spots, either report them, start financially supporting them or stop watching them. Many responsible creators have patreons or alternative services that they don’t do that shit on.
I dislike most sponsor spots, I agree with you, and wish my android box supported sponsorblock properly, but I don’t think it’s YouTube’s responsibility to help me - the creator felt it should be in the video - not YouTube.
/u/aluminium is arguing for something like VCR companies building a way to skip ads automatically - I paid for the VCR and I don’t want to see ads It’s not their problem what your preference is, and they aren’t incentived enough to care.
YouTube doesn’t even strictly know what the sponsor conversion rate is, since they aren’t involved in the deal
Louis Rossmann made a great point a long time ago - adblock my videos and donate me a dollar. That dollar is more that I’d ever get from you as an individual via Adsense or sponsor spots.
I’ve kinda hit a wall - I have chronospheres boosting my early game, but get back to them takes weeks of occassional check ins. how do I advance quicker?
