A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you did want to skip sponsored content within videos, try using SponsorBlock. It's an extension that skips ads, transitions, and other annoying segments within videos based on user submitted timestamps. Pretty much every YouTuber I've found with over 100K subscribers has already got segment timestamps on most of their videos. It really makes watching videos more enjoyable

This. Not that I pay for YouTube Premium, but I'd be annoyed if I got ads on top of that (regardless of whether it's from YouTube or the creator).
