SponsorBlock (and DeArrow)

SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos.

Still some bugs, DeArrow is now public. It is a browser extension for improving titles and thumbnails on YouTube. It works via crowdsourced submissions and title formatting.

Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video.

@MaxRadniecki @pondorasti @karpathy This is closer to https://t.co/iWulUQ0eiT

DeArrow does thumbnails a little differently by generating new ones instead of relying on YouTube's autogenerated ones. This is because YouTube's autogenerated ones are not random and look for sensational frames in the video

@Vinibi90 @tdinh_me do not autosubmit this to sponsorblock

[SponsorBlock (and DeArrow) @SponsorBlock]

@tdinh_me imagine spending 0.005 cents per video and burning down 20 forests instead of not making slop

@wildvertiser Out of scope for SponsorBlock itself, but we're working on a specific extension for this - it's a prototype atm.

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against YouTube over its "ad-free" subscription claims

Plaintiffs argue YouTube Premium still shows ads because creators include sponsorship segments in their videos

good idea

Danny Gonzalez says viewers should be able to pick the title and thumbnail of YouTube videos to tackle clickbait

@UseddCarBattery @ninjachibi117 @gamingnoobdev I didn't make it. It looked more boring before, but I told them they can keep it up as long as they add some keygen music. Then they made this masterpiece

DeArrow 2.1 adds compatibility with retro-YouTube extension v3 as well as yt-anti-translate.

If yt-anti-translate is detected, it will automatically enable the built in DeArrow anti-translate functionality and try to avoid conflicts with the other extension.

Listen to podcasts on spotify? Check out Spot SponsorBlock

It uses the same servers as normal SponsorBlock but the extension is developed and published by someone else
