Like even if there were no ads you'd learn how to help in a timely manner.
"What's up guys! It's me, your boy, MikeyMedic here with another video of a standard first aid technique, the Abdominal Thrusts!! Now the Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick that is used to help someone when they're choking 5 minutes on things you can choke on Speaking of food to choke on, our sponsor this week is FoodBox! 3 minutes of FoodBox ad Abdominal Thrusts used to be called the Heimlich Maneuver! Henry Heimlich was... 5 minute history on the Heimlich Maneuver and now I'm going to perform an abdominal thrust on my friend, Someguy420! Check out his videos on another 2 minutes for a partner plug and then 1 minute on how to perform abdominal thrusts And that's how you perform an abdominal thrust! Be sure to check out my other videos. 3 minutes on other video content, liking and subscribing and hitting that bell."
I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as "introduction" "non-music" or "sponsor" and it automatically skip those sections for other users who arrive at that video. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.
I would've read your comment l, but I'm using sponsorblock and it automatically blocked your comment.
I actually cannot stand watching YouTube without sponsorblock now...
No, how about you let creators make the little money that they can. Oh wait, you support piracy, that's right.
Creators get their sponsor money when the video goes up. Skipping that part doesn't hurt them at all
You can use revanced with premium
They wouldn't make money from me either way because I never buy stuff based on video sponsorships.
Truth is, they get paid whether you watch the sponsored segment or not. Unlike pre-, mid- and post-roll ads which do not pay creators if they're blocked (doesn't stop me from blocking ads, but I support where I can, such as via merch purchases, using sponsor codes or watching exclusively on Nebula for creators who are on Nebula)
Didn't know that. But it's still honorable to support them.
Damn right, fuck capitalism
It's not called Heimlich anymore? I guess i have to watch some MikeyMedic videos...
Heimlich started trying to discredit back blows without any evidence and was being kinda a dick about it, so the Red Cross renamed the "Heimlich Maneuver" to "Abdominal Thrusts."
Sounds like the title of a weird and intense Grey's Anatomy fanfic
If I remember correctly from my first aid training, the Heimlich family themselves asked for it not to be called that, possibly to avoid being implicated in instances of it going wrong! Or possibly my first aid instructor was full of shit... :-)
Literally what youtube has become.
Friends, if you haven't already done so: Adblocker + Sponsorblock = sanity.
Don't forget the 5 minute request before you've even seen the start of what you're interested in that you like, subscribe, and request notifications
I would have switched off and gone to find another video at this point.
Abdominal thrusts are not recommended for choking due to considerable evidence that it can cause harm.
What do you propose? As far as I know (the consensus changes alle the time but) they are recommended if you have no other options.
The linked page recommends chest thrusts and back blows.
Damn, it's like i just finished watching pretty much any YouTube video.
I appreciate the content creators who at least mark the sponsorship segment on the timeline so I know where to skip to.
There's SponsorBlock, which is community-driven and autoskips pretty much every big youtuber's sponsors.
