FYI: Human, check reCAPTCHA log /s
There should be no need to ask, but I guess some still need to…
The normal route would be to check profile information and history; then it becomes really easy to figure out, for some.

And we will continue to support them 100% of the way, so as to keep the duopoly and the status quo of supporting genocides all over the world.
More forever wars where the working class continue to be killed off, while the owner-class and their lackeys rake in their profits and natural resources.
No need, it just didn’t do well.
It happens to those that try.
Like the duopoly, we can criticize these warmongers on way more than just focusing on their looks; it downplays and distracts us from focusing on their abysmal record.
Not tagged NSFW and wrong community.
Good luck in life, hope all is well!

Don’t forget to report
Interesting, that is a lot of blocking, and it seems like a really small pool of certain types of people and information!
You know what you only want to see; thanks for sharing your views on the matter.
Please, let’s not get into this habit of creating communities without having any clear purpose. It only makes things look even deader than they already are.
TIL, people follow that rule.
I try to keep my communities active, not sure you can say that about the others though.
hahaha, interesting, thanks for the questions!
do we really a whole community for that?
Why not.
It is just another new community like many on lemmy.
What do you want to talk about it there?
People can talk about SponsorBlock and the like.
TIL, cool for them.
I use other YT forks and systems that already implement similar techniques even if they are “good” or “bad” ads.
I am also for Sailing the High Seas.
We have a difference in opinion on this matter, but thanks for the small chat and the link!
This is the section you are talking about:
SponsorBlock
This year, a developer worked on implementing support for SponsorBlock in NewPipe. SponsorBlock is a crowd-sourced database listing sponsored sections in videos, which are automatically skipped by clients such as web browsers, using extensions.
While SponsorBlock’s implementation apparently takes care to preserve user privacy (you can, e.g., download the entire database for offline use, and its regular querying system is also well made), it targets an ethical advertising system. Its purpose is to help users, who probably don’t realise that sponsorship is one of the most ethical ways to fund their favorite content, automatically skip sponsored sections of videos.
Morally, it’s a very questionable system. Of course, some sponsoring may be of little relevance to the user, or maybe even intrusive or hidden. But SponsorBlock doesn’t differentiate between ethical and unethical advertisements. It just skips all kinds of sponsored sections.
That’s not your opinion.
Okay.
Not all ads are invasive soul seeking tracking nightmares
Ads are ads; it doesn’t matter if they are “good” or “bad,” unless you want to watch them like most people do because they don’t mind or they don’t know how to block them.
no, there are not “many ways” for content creators to do that full-time.
If they do not get the engagement or funds they need, they will either paywall or find other ways to support themselves; or they will just not make it on YouTube or streaming, like many people before them, unless they continue to fight on while learning and failling.
This reminds me of some small business talks; it is a harsh capitalistic world; you give up or keep trying.
I still say grassroots funding and support is the way to go if they are just doing it for the hobby or for what they believe.
IMO: Ads are ads, even if they come from the creator themselves.
People will support them if they can and if they want to.
Many ways to support them, direct funding, talking about them, making communities, and other stuff.
Jumping in:
My Android is my primary device so I don’t get the alt text.
Use a YT fork, you can customize it to some of your liking; Some come with SponsorBlock enabled right out of the box.
Yeah, I just click on video to check titles, unless you copy and paste yt url then go to a front-end website.
Or Louis Rossmann yt fork…
Edit: grammer, format, spelling, flow
IMO: Political tribalism.
They might be following the online narrative that the game is getting in their circles.
I check out other social media, so I see a bit of both sides.
On the other end, it is a really popular game that did not follow the PC culture wars that other games follow, per Sweet Baby Inc…
Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian narrative development and consultation studio based in Montreal. Founded by former Ubisoft developers, including scriptwriter Kim Belair and product manager David Bédard, the company consults on video game narratives during development to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within game narratives and studios.
LMK if I am wrong or if anyone has more information.
I agree; growing crops and having a healthy garden takes a lot of labor, time, and multiple tries.
When ever I see and marvel at a new local community garden or personal garden, the first thing that does not come to mind is “that looks easy.”
We must not fear using our critical thinking muscles, or else we will lose them.
