Also I’m gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

Where is the non-skippable ads added by YouTube?
He’s using Firefox and has uBlock Origin installed.
Then please add 5 second delays.
The funny thing is, the ad that you skipped is much longer than 5 seconds, so it is still worth doing.
Holy shit, you’re on Lemmy? I am just now finding out that you’ve been on here for months now. Big fan of your comic, Gregor! I’ve been subscribed to your RSS feed for years now and am always excited when I get a notification! I really vibe with your brand of humour. Just wanted to say thank you for all the chuckles, snickers and laughs over the years!
Also, third panel, bottom right.
Hey thank you very much for sticking with me for so long! I’m also glad to hear the RSS feed is still being used
Sponsor Block.
Thank me later
And for mobile, YouTube Revanced (Android only tho)
NewPipe now also supports Sponsorblock!
I time the videos now. If it takes more than 30 seconds to get to the point I click off.
Use sponsorblock. It will automatically detect any promotions, ads, recaps, intros, annoying reminders and you can set to auto-skip or display a skip button. It’s changed my life and it comes packed for free in Revanced (android). You’re missing out if you’re not using it.
You may read my comment and dismiss what I’ve said thinking “it’s just a random Lemmy user what could he know?”
Just try it, however good you think it might be I promise you it’s better than your expectations.
If you watch a Mr Beast video it’s hilarious because it skips half of the video but zero of the content, really makes you think
I use sponsor block but YouTubers who do this are still typically channels I don’t like watching. No disrespect to the job but I don’t like feeling like a product.
Much prefer YouTubers who do it as a hobby
15min video, 2min intro, 1min ads, 10min backstory, 2min guide, 2min outro.
Amazing how they manage to make 15 minutes feel like 17.
remember the wadsworth constant?
what’s the wadsworth constant?
congratulations on being one of today’s lucky ten thousand! (which is itself a memetic reference to “even if almost everybody knew about something, there’s still probably always at least ten thousand people every day hearing about it for the first time”)
The Wadsworth Constant is not really a constant, but just an observed colloquial phenomenon called out by a dude who used the social media handle ‘wadsworth’ forever ago: it just seemed at the time as though you could skip the first 30% of any given youtube video and not really miss terribly much critical info because that block of time was often filled up with greeting, intro, sponsors, etc and a rehashing of the initial query. if you just hit ‘3’ on your keyboard to skip 30% of the way in, you’d “usually” get what you clicked on the video for (if it’s even in the video at all and it’s not just clickbait trash).
Wait, are you telling me that I can just hit ‘3’ on my keyboard to skip 30%?
You can also use “,” and “.” to rewind or advance by a single frame at a time.
Wow, that’s really nice
yes, AND if you hold shift and hit < or > you can decrease or increase the speed of playback by a range of preset multipliers!
the available playback speed multipliers are 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 (normal speed), 1.25, 1.5x, 1.75 and 2.0.
Holy shit, now I do. Wasn’t it even added as an Easter Egg at one point?
It was … back when Google had humor.
