>Yeah, sponsor sections of content is usually done respectfully of the audience. I literally just LOL'd and spit water at my screen reading that. They are the most condescending over the top waaaaay too long of a segment. Even in the 1950's, sponsors were just mentioned along the lines of "This segment is brought to you by Ovaltine. Remember to drink your Ovaltine!" and then moves right the fuck along. But nooooo, yo…
Maybe you should watch other creators then. IME better creators have higher respect for their audiences and create better, even entertaining sponsor segments. I have even been introduced to services I pay for now via these segments. Nebula, Backblaze, DBrand, and Audible are some of them.
This teeters on the verge of being a shill's comment. This concept of "creators" being any different than any other social media "influencer" that is doing things for clicks/likes/subscribes opposed to "respecting" their audience is just farcical. Are there various degrees of their insincerity, of course.
I never drank the social media Kool-aid. I find it very disconcerting how many people from the social media generations actually believe that these "creators" shilling products are anything more than what they actually are.

Long intros are the worst. You had a nice click bait title and thumbnail fucking get to the content instead of telling me how busy you have been and how you feel/sound sick or entire history of everything and everyone even remotely related to the topic if the video. Just give me the meat and give it to me raw
Look at the Clickbait Remover extension for youtube, it replaces the thumbnails with true thumbs crested from the video

i can almost nod my head in acceptance for a :30 ad before a new piece of content. at :45, i'm starting to get annoyed. at :60, i'm wondering if this is really worth it. then, youtube steps up to the plate, points to the fences, and serves up a 2minute30second (i've seen longer) short film on some clearly fake as fuck scam type of 4am paid programming type of crap. on top of serving some mind bendingly annoying long…
I left a playlist on while working, so an anonymous account. A full on hour self-help seminar was playing as an ad. if you don't skip the ads you get to some weird places.

#105I'm not saying developer is doing that, but they have power to do so. This app sends every video you're watching to their api, https://sponsor.ajay.app/api/ , and they can do whatever they want with this data. When small apps like this becames popular, they start receiving offers from data brokers/malware business and sometimes developers sell the data or the whole app without even knowing that the data will be used for bad purposes.

#107Do I need to setup anything on the TV or does this just work?
Re: iSponsorBlockTV v2: SponsorBlock for TVs and game consoles
#108I don't understand how can people trust a random app or extension just to have a little convinience. When it comes to big tech people are very privacy conscious. But it's not always big tech may have privacy leaks or would sell your data directly to data brokers most of the time, it's small apps like this. I'm not saying developer is doing that, but they have power to do so. This app sends every video you're watching…
Do you have any data to back this up

AFAIK some people have used it on synology successfully in the past. A PR including specific steps would be amazing though
I spent about a month looking for detailed guides on how to add individual services to my Synology and just constantly being frustrated. Then I found an extremely detailed but very opinionated guide on how to setup a suite of apps with docker compose and ssh because the author's were very much against the GUI and built in apps. It's been a much smoother and easier experience installing services since I no longer need…
