Veritasium's new video on Jumping Spiders is having its sponsor Better Help on blast in the top comments. Should we hold content creators to account? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

Sponsor block x new pipe and its not a problem

It very much is still a problem. It's unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.

Where did you get yours? I have Newpipe, but I'm having a hard time finding the version with sponsor block? Is it called Tubular now?

[-] count_duckula@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

I switched to Pipepipe from Newpipe because I wasn't sure Newpipe was being maintained. Pipepipe has SponsorBlock.
