Dammit, I came up with a Halloween costume too late. The plan would've been to dress up as a 'like' button, and get drunk.
You know this one's old because he didn't have to sit through multiple 50 second ads.
What are you talking about? There are fewer ads for this long video. It's for your benefit. Obviously.
edit: and we're adding randomly timed "skip" buttons at various points in the ads to make sure that you can skip when you want! Not to make sure your eyes are on screen at all times.
I remember a post on Reddit about someone putting an ad brake in the middle of a "white noise for sleeping" video.
Didn't YouTube start putting ads even on non-monetised videos like, a year or so ago? It's possibly not the uploader's fault
Was it that one that woke up a very confused baby?
One one hand that's annoying and would suck if you're a light sleeper.
On the other hand I feel like some (most?) people would sleep right through that. In which chase the ad would give money to the uploader dispute the audience literally being asleep. That's cool because fuck ads lol
Why don't we just use one of the FOSS white noise applications, which also have options for brown, pink and other colourful noises?
Or why don't we just download an mp3 from soundcloud and use that? It's not like YouTube is giving 1000Kb/s HD audio.Oh right, YouTube is right there.

At first we thought internet will be a basically free and easily accessible knowledge base of all the things.
But then extreme monetisation & financial interests were like 'abso-fucking-lutely not' & proceeded to monopolise and segregate the inter of our nets.
Long live Wiki and all fossy things!
SponsorBlock to the rescue
Unless you're on TV
SmartTube has SponsorBlock baked in
watching latest Adam Conover video
Adam: "We're about to be repeatedly punched in the throat by capitalism. Which brings me to today's sponsor..."
Later in the video
Adam: "Which reminds me that today's video is also sponsored by..."
Me: "Well fuck... I wasn't expecting YOU to punch me in the throat repeatedly with capitalism..."
get sponsorblock look at video over half the runtime is automatically skipped for being non-video garbage
Why is the third panel's settings icon a spider or a bug of some sort?
Because spider.
(The artist hides a spider in their comic)
I must now go through every past comic on a search for more
I hate to break it to you, but spiders have eight legs.
I have come across a few children's illustrators who do this with spiders too, but sometimes on every page.
That spider is hidden somewhere in each of their comics.
No mention of the Wadsworth Constant? Have we forgotten it so soon?
What is this?
It’s an old meme that states the first 30% of every YouTube video is useless and can be skipped without consequence. It’s a constant because it doesn’t matter if the video is 3 or 300 seconds long; The first 30% can always be skipped without missing anything important.
IIRC, it started on Reddit when a user named Wadsworth wrote about it in one of the AskReddit threads about life hacks.
The box of crap was on point
