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!”).
I love skip to highlight, and I hate interaction reminders more than sponsored ads or ads. I especially hate the ones that tell you to like and subscribe at the very beginning when you haven’t even seen the video to even decide if this is something you actually want to add to your feed or even liked.
It’s so obnoxious. Without sponsorblock I’d be just exiting out a lot of videos.
Block tube is also something I’ve come to love, since there’s some popular channels that always clutter search results even if you don’t watch their videos. So removing them makes results more relevant instead of having to keep looking down the list for other channel videos.
Block tube
I mainly use that to remove sharts from my YT experience. I hate them so f’ing much
There’s also DeArrow by the same developer that made SponsorBlock. It converts clickbait titles and thumbnails to be descriptive rather than being clickbaity and sensational.
They’re normally not that short and I hate being asked to do the same thing a thousand times.

I don’t like being told what to do. And everyone does it so it becomes an incredibly over done catch phrase. I’ll decide on my own if I want to like or subscribe, and I hate it when they ask at the beginning of the video. At that point they are telling you to blindly do it.
I agree with saying it at the beginning of the video but I don’t mind when it’s said at the end. If I’m still there I clearly enjoyed it and might want to consider subscribing.
