Also I'm gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

Holy shit, you're on Lemmy? I am just now finding out that you've been on here for months now. Big fan of your comic, Gregor! I've been subscribed to your RSS feed for years now and am always excited when I get a notification! I really vibe with your brand of humour. Just wanted to say thank you for all the chuckles, snickers and laughs over the years!

Also, third panel, bottom right.

I time the videos now. If it takes more than 30 seconds to get to the point I click off.

Use sponsorblock. It will automatically detect any promotions, ads, recaps, intros, annoying reminders and you can set to auto-skip or display a skip button. It's changed my life and it comes packed for free in Revanced (android). You're missing out if you're not using it.

You may read my comment and dismiss what I've said thinking "it's just a random Lemmy user what could he know?"

Just try it, however good you think it might be I promise you it's better than your expectations.

If you watch a Mr Beast video it's hilarious because it skips half of the video but zero of the content, really makes you think

I use sponsor block but YouTubers who do this are still typically channels I don’t like watching. No disrespect to the job but I don’t like feeling like a product.

Much prefer YouTubers who do it as a hobby

I make the occasional cooking video. The longest is like seven minutes, the rest hovers around the three minute mark. I don't even know how other people drag videos out that long. Ingredients, preparation, a bad joke or two, done. Then again I'm doing it for fun and don't want to waste peoples time, they could be starving.

I personally have mixed feelings about "fluff" content in recipes. If it's a rundown of the origins and history of the dish, its evolution, and variations, I'm usually very interested in that as it can and sometimes does have a bearing on how I may want to customize the recipe, or if nothing else, educational content on the history of food is nice. Obviously I appreciate a to the point recipe too, just saying I personally don't mind a bit of context and history. If it's just telling a story about your personal connection to the food though, I think we can stand to skip that or at the very least move it to a dedicated bonus section after the recipe itself.

Research and use Sponsorblock

Sponsorblock + Adblock is a must nowadays. And occasionally participating by submitting segments to sponsorblock, if you can, is a nice way to help.

Personally I've contributed segments (highlights and sponsor mostly) recently and the stats are somewhat disturbing in the sheer quantity of life time savings:

You've saved people from 1,448 segments ( 16h 53.2 minutes of their lives )

If this is an ad it worked

Sponsor Block.

Thank me later

15min video, 2min intro, 1min ads, 10min backstory, 2min guide, 2min outro.

Amazing how they manage to make 15 minutes feel like 17.

remember the wadsworth constant?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit, now I do. Wasn't it even added as an Easter Egg at one point?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

It was … back when Google had humor.

Where is the non-skippable ads added by YouTube?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's using Firefox and has uBlock Origin installed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then please add 5 second delays.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

The funny thing is, the ad that you skipped is much longer than 5 seconds, so it is still worth doing.
