TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!

This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people’s lives.

I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

Sponsorblock

How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it’s instantly one of my favorites.

Thank you!!

On that note… Also take a look at DeArrow

https://dearrow.ajay.app/

Same dev as SponsorBlock, same concept, just for YT Titles and thumbnails.

Users can submit titles that better describe the contents and pick a neutral thumbnail.

i also have DeArrow and it’s such a subtle change that you don’t even realize until you’re browsing the Tube on another device. Hoooly shit. i could feel the pressure from all the clickbait.

Don’t forget to upvote good segments and downvote bad ones. Segments that are downvoted enough get hidden or removed. That’s a pretty big part of how they prevent malicious people (possibly with outside instances) from trying to sabotage the network

Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?

I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.

Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)

I’ve read they aren’t legally allowed to show ads in some countries.

Personally, nope. I’m still annoyed. But yes, thanks for trying to make the ads amusing or whatever, YTers.

Insurance company : Oh you paid for insurance but we won’t cover your costs

Finally claims insurance after months of waiting

Hospital : You have an insurance so the bill is 8x higher but no you don’t need to pay all of them half is paid by insurance not you only have to pay 4x the money without insurance

but you have to pay the full amount anyway and go through insurance because you have a deductible that needs to be met because your annual physical isn’t supposed to happen until November when you get time off around Thanksgiving but you don’t want to have to pay the full non-insured price of this and not count it to your deductible when you KNOW that you’ll have to pay the full cost of that primary care visit and your 45-year-old colonoscopy coming up and everything is terrible.
