It's disturbing how even left-leaning YouTubers try to weave in ad plugs. (hexbear.net)

It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

Sponsorblock is an amazing addon. A must have in conjunction with ublock Origin.

Seeing sponsorships in videos is as weird to me as seeing any ads on the internet now. Youtube is borderline unwatchable without it.
