    I am paying for YouTube Premium, and yet I still have to skip over US-exclusive sponsor sections which almost every Youtuber has nowadays…

      That’s why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can’t live without even though I have YouTube premium.

      Yeah, almost exclusively either Us-centric and not even available where I live, or so gosh darn expensive that I just will never use the stuff advertised (looking at you, magic spoon)

          you should check out linustechtips. The sponsors they get/accept are actually decent reputable companies with decent products.

            Linus’s video on their sponsors gave them way too much benefit of the doubt for scummy practices I would have dropped a company for

            Linus is getting sponsorship from either actually useful tech software that is for enterprise or it’s some weird niche software or product that no one ever needs.
