How do you deal with the sponsor reads baked into YouTube videos?

Ad blockers usually handle the normal ad breaks, but the “this video is sponsored by...” part in the middle of the video is still there, since it’s part of the video itself.

Curious how people here handle it:

• Do you skip it manually, or just live with it?
• If you use something automatic, where does it fall short? (new videos, small channels, non-English videos, etc.)
• Is it a real annoyance for you, or just a “scrub forward 30 seconds” thing?

Not selling anything and nothing to link, I’m just trying to see how common this actually is.

Neutering ads in Reddit.

I am on an iPhone (loaned so beggars don’t get to be choosers) using brave. I can’t use Firefox with Adblock as iPhones do not allow extensions natively.

How can I effectively prevent ads here? I prefer using a phone to browse over my laptop. I am just sick of seeing them and when I go to mute or report them I get warned I am at my limit and action may be taken **for not allowing them to inundate my feed with bullshit**.

Any help or tips is appreciated.

Twitch ad injections above ad or side of stream

I've been using Pie for about a year since the ublock stuff happened. It didn't work on waterfox with teh full thing, didn't work on chrome with ubo. Friend steered me to Pie which has worked perfectly up until about a week ago where Twitch has been injecting video ads randomly at the top of the chat or at the right side of the stream. I can inspect element delete the ads to keep em off the screen, but they keep coming back. Pie hasn't done shit to fix the issue so here I am, askin for help

On chrome. have no intention of goin back to waterfox as Pie [last I checked at least] wasn't supported there and again, it actually works. This is the only issue I've ever had with it. Still perfectly fine everywhere else.

Did U Block Origin Lite Stop working entirely for anybody else?

restarted my pc today and notice (on chrome) ads are on reddit, youtube, x etc and changing the filtering mode is doing nothing.

New to this, what should I do?

I feel like I’m rage baited into buying premium but after skipping what seems like a thousand ads, I’ve developed a one sided grudge with youtube…. So I’d much rather do anything else before resorting to that. I’ve had the same google chromecast 3 nc2-6a5 for more than 4 years and it used to skip youtube ads automatically. That was until this year, when it suddenly stopped and now I have to skip every add individually. In 2015 that wouldn’t really be a problem, but in 2026 you have to be the most stoic or genuinely crazy person not to be upset about it. So here I am, at the end of the road to insanity asking for help. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a Google Chromecast 3rd gen nc2 and a philips 43hfl2849t 12 tv (not a smart tv). Is there a sliver of hope for my setup or do I have to buy a newer chromecast?

What solutions are best for me?

I was using chrome + adguard and loved it. Now I'm getting bsod with adguard (netio.sys) and have to move away from adguard.

Now I'm thinking brave instead of chrome but is just brave enough? Does it block all reddit sponsored ads? All youtubes too? What about twitch ads?

Before it gets mentioned I am not going to Firefox and ublock origin. Firefox has audio issues on YouTube videos when skipping ahead and on YouTube shorts where it makes robotic sounds every time I click ahead in a video.
