    I watch YT about once a week and usually an hour or less. Premium isn’t worth it for that low of use. Sponsors, I skipped, always. I’ve never once purchased from a sponsor. I also skipped subscribe crap manually (I’m not logged in, I can’t).

    SponsorBlock just does it for me, kinda nice. The creator gets paid by viewership so I have helped when I watch.

    Lemmy isn’t seen by 98% of the public so my mentioning it hardly spreads further awareness. What did spread it was YT themselves cracking down. It made news headlines and my own mother asked I come over and install one.

    YT Streisand Effected themselves. They demanded we not use them and got more people using them because of it.
