SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube

I absolutely hate advertising in all forms, and will aggressively block ads whenever I can.

I pay for YouTube Premium, though I have no idea how much (if any) of that goes toward creators. If a YouTube channel I enjoy has a Patreon, I'll subscribe.

Advertising is psychological manipulation. I get that there aren't many ways for independent creators to get paid for their work, only a selection of sub-optimal choices, but ads are gross.

I believe YT Premium supports creators better than the ads you would have watched would have.
