Before getting Sponsorblock, I would always manually skip forward past the integrated advertisements. This tool does the exact same thing but faster and more convenient for me. My conscience is unaffected
Precisely! The sponsors have to be aware that some subset of the audiences watching the sponsorees will skip ahead anyway. They can't seriously believe that they are entitled to our attention.
They are aware of it I guess, but probably don't deal with the issue in an effective way.
There's a French channel I look at, they make sponsor sequences as well but I don't skip them because they make those in such a bizarre, ridiculous and remotely funny way I'm even curious to see how bad the sponsor sequence is gonna be.
They alone are the only reason why I set up my sponsorblock to not skip sponsor sequences, but to skip everything else
The Wadsworth Constant was a thing even from the earliest days of Youtube.
