Me whenever I watch SomeMoreNews and Cody has something for Ground News or he chokes down his favorite drink.

I'm happy ground.news is spreading... I got it on app release and haven't regretted my sub years later.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Yep I’m a few months deep and still loving the features.

Ryan George honestly does good stuff with his advertisements

I'm surprised I haven't seen the "Adstronaut in Ad Space" joke anywhere else.

God_Is_Love ,

They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I'm happy he's able to make a living from his material!

perishthethought ,

Personally, nope. I'm still annoyed. But yes, thanks for trying to make the ads amusing or whatever, YTers.

INHALE_VEGETABLES ,

Imagine being soy for adverts.

The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays' videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.

criitz ,

Acerola has cat videos on the side while he talks about his sponsor. I have sat thru it to watch the kitty.

GlenTheFrog ,

Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn't skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery

@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

Oh, sick, new Bringus post? I'll be in my bunk.

nevemsenki ,

Squire's ads are better than the actual vids of some other YTers...

Terrapinjoe ,

Map Men's ads are honestly worth watching

When I say "Skillsh", you say "Air"!

I have no idea what I've missed.... Till I go to someone's house and watch raw YouTube and it's unbearable.

REAL

AnxiousDuck ,

TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!

This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people's lives.

Baguette ,

I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

dubyakay ,

Sound about right.

ILikeBoobies ,

Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934

Baku ,

Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I've only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else

ILikeBoobies ,

Using commas looks weird here. You never really see anything other than spaces unless it’s foreign

psud ,

I was taught to use spaces for thousands in Canberra

the_beber ,

And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.

What is dearrow ?

AnxiousDuck ,

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

x4740N ,
@x4740N@lemm.ee avatar

Oh cool it's made by the same person that made sponserblock

x4740N ,
@x4740N@lemm.ee avatar

Ditto

pepperjacques ,

Even though he reuses a particular gag format in his ad segments, I do like TheWhyFiles ads

MrQuallzin ,

'TomSka and Friends' has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they've done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don't skip

drcobaltjedi ,

I loved his video complaining about his search for surfshark's limit on ads, going insane in the process, not finding it, and then just doing a deadpan delivery of surfshark at the end.

Turious ,

Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.

MimicJar ,

Nobbleberry is my favorite show.

Notyou ,
@Notyou@sopuli.xyz avatar

I was going to post Erik, if no one else did. His ads are so good.

Muffi ,

He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads

Catoblepas ,

MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.

olicvb ,
@olicvb@lemmy.ca avatar

Ice Cream Sandwich, Martincitopants and NakeyJakey have me going back after sponsorblock skips it, it's just so entertaining i'll take the ad at this point

spiffpitt ,

you can whitelist channels in sponsorblock

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

I do this for tomatoanus skits as well, those are usually pretty off the wall. My man has an entire storyline saga going on in his ad read sections.

TheFriar ,

Danny Gonzalez definitely makes them pretty good too. But I feel like the original ones to make ads entertaining were MBMBAM in the early years. Griffin’s songs, their stupid ass bits? The money zone had me cracking the fuck up. That takes something special for me.

TheRealKuni ,

Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.

Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.

TheFriar ,

I’ve been going back through early MBMBAM lately. Goddamn, it was pretty much peak podcasting. I stand by that. Early-mid harmontown, early-mid MBMBAM, maybe the first two seasons of My Dad Wrote a Porno, and maybe the first few seasons of Slow Burn. The best podcasts have to offer, I think.

TheRealKuni ,

Also Hello Internet (RIP).

valkyre09 ,

Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?

I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.

Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)

new_guy ,

Any idea of why is that?

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

YouTube does not have any customers in Albania

ours ,

I've read they aren't legally allowed to show ads in some countries.
