Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

abcxyz,

Please explain to me how does blocking sponsor segments harm creators?

abcxyz,

This is not how ot works though.

Modern internet-based video platforms like YouTube do NOT tell this information to advrrtisers, because the sponsor block ads have no contract with YouTube directly. They are paying the content creator, not youtube.

There’s no way for sponsor block advertisers to tell how many people skipped their ad.

abcxyz,

It’s fine if you don’t want to admit you’re wrong, but please don’t preach it to others, because none of what you said is factual. Speaking from first hand experience.

abcxyz,

“I’m sure YouTube could even merge the ads into the content stream so they are unavoidable.”

Who is going to tell him?

abcxyz,

They are profitable because they data mine the shit out of you. And now they want you to pay them so they can continue doing it.
