          You can enable it on settings, you’ll probably have to download one of the suggested apps that do this, newpipe is probably best.

        Blocking YouTube ads I support.

        Sponsorblocker is just shitty. That money goes directly to the content creators, not Google. It hurts the wrong people.

        Besides, you can fast-forward those.

          Does SponsorBlock automatically skipping vs me manually scrubbing actually make any difference to what the creator receives in compensation?

            No, I doubt the analytics software can tell the difference. It just sees the user skip from timestamp X to Y

          Besides what others have said, many YouTubers that include sponsor segments get paid a flat rate for doing so before/when the video is published. They don’t get recurring revenue based on sponsor segments, only from YouTube ads.

      Seems like a good alternative. Do you know if there a way to import my current subscriptions?

      Also, I’ve been using the music service for some time now as well. Do you have any suggestions for viable replacements for that?
