Begs? Bad take. It's the developer's full time job to make those two extensions. They don't materialise out of thin air, someone has to dedicate themself to developing it, hosting the servers which store and send the information, managing the community around them, fixing bugs. That stuff isn't free. If you value the utility that it gives you then paying a small amount for the server cost and the developer's time is completely fair.

SponsorBlock. An absolute necessity if you watch youtube on desktop. It skips host-read sponsors in videos, as well as other stuff you might want to skip like intro animations and Interaction Reminders ("don't forget to like and subscribe!").

This Extra Punctuation episode has some great discussion on what healthbars/lives are for: the failure state of video games and how it teaches you through reinforcement much like the function of pain irl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZQYtRx_ZEc&list=PLAbMhAYRuCUjTFTU63WTuXDwT3bP3v2kN&index=5

I recommend watching with SponsorBlock, or manually skipping to 1:39.
