I block ads not because I'm completely anti-advert. I'm anti being-stalked-through-my-entire-life-and-having-my-details-sold-like-I'm-a-cheap-peice-of-meat, and unfortunately ATM blocking that also means blocking most online adverts. So I draw the line before sponsorblock. At least the content creators get a better cut of that than they get from YouTube monetisation & youtube can't take it away from them as easily at…
If you use NewPipe then there is virtually no difference if you view the sponsor part or not?
It makes no direct difference, they don't get paid directly per view like with monetising via youtube ads and such, but if no one ever sees the sponsor segments the sponsorship will dry up and the content will need to be paid for by other means (the creators just loving it enough to make it for free, some of the audience paying by some means, etc.) which usually isn't a long-term viable position.

> Advertising is inherently immoral Why? In principle, advertising is a way to propagate information in a market, trying to match offer with demand. Without any such mechanism, markets would be hugely inefficient (i.e., it would be annoying to find a shop selling what you are looking for, since you would need to visit many before finding one that sells that thing). The problem with ads, like you are saying, is that b…
You can look things up when you need something, you don't need to wait for an ad to annoy you to discover something. What's more, usually, you hear ads for big players, not the small ones, which are often the most interesting. In particular, hearing about NordVPN every other video is not necessary.
Look things up where?

> Advertising is inherently immoral and it's our moral obligation to drive advertisers into bankruptcy. I agree with this on principle, but in reality I wonder how we'll pay for content online if this were to happen. Micropayments will never be a thing, and subscriptions don't make sense for random one-off videos or articles.
> Micropayments will never be a thing Why not? I'd love to see something like "I donate xx CPU cycles upon viewing this content" or something. Computebis a resource, same with networking, and there's already a lot of them demanded by shitty ad platforms. I'd much rather donate those cycles to BOINC or hell, even ETH over ads
Isn't that just gating websites with crypto payments?

The creator gets zero dollars from you watching sponsored segments, unless you actually go and buy the product using their promo code. So you are not helping them, only wasting your time. A better option is YouTube Premium + Sponsorblock. Then your time spent watching a video translates to payment to the video creator - at a higher rate than for users watching with ads. And you save your time by skipping sponsored se…

That feels like a deliberate misrepresentation of how sponsorship works.
The sponsors are not paying directly for viewings or sales (though number of eyeballs is one consideration in negotiating the worth for a sponsored block) but for the potential opportunity for sales offered by increases market awareness. It is far more subtle than paying for impressions/clicks like other advertising models.
If no one watched them, the creator would get zero dollars full stop because the sponsorship simply wouldn't happen.
> A better option is YouTube Premium + Sponsorblock.
I'll stop using youtube completely long before I pay them to stalk me (you may not get the ads on premium, but you are still being tracked to the fullest extent possible).

All caps started becoming more popular in English because a lot of people now have names where the first and last names are interchangeable and it was causing uncertainty.
I wouldn’t mind this becoming an international standard. Going back and forth between the west and Asia, no one is ever sure upon first look which is my given name and which is my surname because of it being written in a different order across different ID cards, registration forms, etc.
I suppose I wouldn't mind it either, so to speak. But I think you should just get assigned an ID number at birth. Ideally it would encode the place and time of your birth, parents' ID numbers and sibling count, what the weather was like when you were born and what was forecast, ...

The client is French. Including a French copy of the message is entirely mundane.
The French invented the word chauvinism :) They take their language very seriously likewise. I work for a French company and even though the official language is English you're kind of a second rate citizen if you don't speak it. Or write last names in all caps or quotation marks like > :) They just are that way :P
Dont forget writing time with a h separator. We met at 15h45.

tartube is only available on Sourceforge. I thought that was a malware infested download site?
That hasn't been true for years.
Which clearly shows that a mistake can ruin reputation forever. Like sourceforge with the scam, or brave with the referees scandal.

> the only reason most of europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2 That thought is the result of decades of successful US propaganda. The people who actually lived through WW2 in Europe thought different. This poll [1] asked: "In your opinion, which nation contributed the most to Hitler's defeat?" [1] https://www.les-crises.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/sondage...
So you agree that somehow the US has a stranglehold on Europe if they were able to make the continent believe what you say is a lie. Maybe you don't think it comes from WW2 or them having the biggest army, but then what is your explanation? Europe bends over just because? The USA has military bases all over Europe with people and missiles. That started with WW2. How would they not have huge influence on what we do? N…
> but then what is your explanation?
Decades of Holywood propaganda and related American cultural exports. There is a reason the Pentagon gives free access to military equipment to Holywood studios, but only if the military is depicted positively / in a heroic manner.

Next step would be for the copyright-enforcement industry to sue VPN providers, claiming that they are making excessive profits by letting users sidestep the geofences, and so they must share some of the profits.
> geofences Geofences are a great way to start copyright reform. Bobby from Zambezia downloaded your new X-heroes movie, and you're complaining about piracy losses? How can you claim losses, if you're geofencing your content and don't want Bobby's money?!
Issue is that geofencing sometimes a direct results of different laws in different countries.
