        Blocking YouTube ads I support.

        Sponsorblocker is just shitty. That money goes directly to the content creators, not Google. It hurts the wrong people.

        Besides, you can fast-forward those.

          Does SponsorBlock automatically skipping vs me manually scrubbing actually make any difference to what the creator receives in compensation?

            No, I doubt the analytics software can tell the difference. It just sees the user skip from timestamp X to Y

          Besides what others have said, many YouTubers that include sponsor segments get paid a flat rate for doing so before/when the video is published. They don’t get recurring revenue based on sponsor segments, only from YouTube ads.

          You can enable it on settings, you’ll probably have to download one of the suggested apps that do this, newpipe is probably best.

            Install Newpipe.

            Tap the share button in the YouTube ReVanced app.

            Select Newpipe. It’ll ask you some info about the download, then start downloading in the background.

            Yeah. You have to download in an external app. That was something I did use a fair bit with premium but it’s no biggie that it’s gone for me.

      Seems like a good alternative. Do you know if there a way to import my current subscriptions?

      Also, I’ve been using the music service for some time now as well. Do you have any suggestions for viable replacements for that?
