Good, fuck those greedy bastards. yt-dlp + mpv with sponsorblock FTW, bonus points for stopping using a YouTube account altogether and using RSS feeds for your subscriptions instead.

Bro... How to setup RSS feed for YouTube subscriptions...

[-] Rosco@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just replace CHANNEL_ID with the ID of the channel you want to get the RSS feed from (to my knowledge it's only limited to the last 15 items) : https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

Or using curl and sed : curl -s youtube_channel_url | sed -n 's/.*title="RSS"\s+href="([^"]+).*/\1/p'

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

https://www.piped.video/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Look under Sponsorblock Options https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

In your mpv.conf you can just add ytdl-raw-options sponsorblock remove all

Don't watch it. I mean they have to make money. I block ads I don't care and I'm not making up bs to justify it. I don't cause I want to and I can.

I'm more than happy to support my favourite content creators by other means, be it simple donation or merch. I will never subject myself to stupid ads, no matter the reason.
