Why use sponsor block? I want to know what sponsors my videos have, because if I see a “Honey” or a “Betterhelp” I’m gonna close the video.
With honey the youtuber was actually the victim, so I wouldn’t judge them too harshly for that one. Small channels don’t have the flexibility to pick whatever sponsor they like. They’re just trying to get by.
Yeah, with a couple of podcasts I listen to, when the Honey stuff came out they did a whole thing about it and dropped Honey mid cycle, probably at a pretty big cost to themselves.
It still mildly irritates me because I had suspected they were doing this for a long time, but I can’t really fault the podcasts I listen to for how they handled it.
I use yt to watch content not to express my political or ideological preferences. My goal is to watch as much content per second possible hence adblock sponsorblock and 2.5 speed.
All the worst sponsors also require a link in description and/or pinned comment so you can know either way.
