Meh. I don't care about youtube personalities losing money when they all collectively contributed to lowering our standards and making us accept a 'new normal' of ads in videos.

Make sure you download the SponsorBlock browser addon. It automatically skips over sponsored ads in the middle of youtube videos.
Edit: Good job sticking up for people who only see you as dollar signs. Can't say I expected more.
SponsorBlock generaly sucks, I can do it manually
No it doesn't.
I used the one included with vanced for a while until I noticed that it was skipping stuff in the video when they were talking about the product the video was about. Not all the time and it could have just been their implementation of it but it put me off using it.
Then you configured it too aggressively. You can select what it should skip
I tried messing with it but it either did too much or not enough.
