Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don't know half of these companies.
And Dearrow by the same creator.
What's dearrow? Downsides?
It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The 'arrow' was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait
Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.

I love sponsor block, it works pretty much flawlessly apart from when YouTube recommends me a video from literally 30 seconds ago, which is surprisingly often that I can now count it on 2 hands as of the last time I got a scarily new video on my feed,

Missing Nebula
Nebula is the youtubers advertising for their own platform. It's like "like and subscribe" or "subscribe to my patreon".
They are right anyway.
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
I'm missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
Hensson. It is a very good razor, just double the price of others
That's the one!
Better help is so shitty that it makes me turn off a video when my sponsor block isn't working. Bambulab at least makes something "good".
I've actually never seen an elgato sponsorship
It's when somebody's elgato stops working so their logo remains the only thing on the screen for a minute or so

I'm proud to say that I block so many ads, this is the first time I'm seeing most of these names.
These sponsors are more and more being baked in the video themselves and not part of the system youtube use. That's why I use sponsorblock to automatically skip the portions of the sponsors.
Did you really need to write this like you were sponsored
I swear it's unintentional
Sponsorblock go brrr
This was put together by someone who doesn't watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
You guys are seeing sponsors? Don't people use sponsorblock? I've never heard of (or seen) half these things.
You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can't even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.

There are some creators who's content ads have the same effort as the rest of the content. As a heavy ad block user this is the only way for advertisers to reach me and im okay with it.
sometimes there isnt labeled sponsor segments, I just usually skip increments of 30 seconds since most sponsor are either 30, 60 or 90 seconds
I'd love to see the YouTube analytics of a handful of really popular videos that have embedded sponsors. Even before the "jump ahead" feature, there must be a massive drop-off of people who just skip five or ten seconds ahead until the sponsor isn't showing again.
Morgan & Morgan have been showing up recently
And I have never ever used one of those services.
Got a set of Raycon headphones, they're fine but nothing special
Idk if this is outdated or I just watch different content than OP, but I've been seeing mostly Helix & MeUndies the last year
Only seen meundies on two channels so far. Not come across helix yet. Yt is large enough for you to be able to just completely miss a sponsor.
I have come accross meundies when watching Alec Steele, amazing channel, would recommend, big enough to have sponskr segments labelled consistent too

MeUndies are unironically excellent.
Micromodal isn’t the sturdiest fiber so they do wear out eventually, but holy shit are they comfy.
They’re overpriced, sure, but kind of worth it IMO.

You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?
This seems less like a starter pack and more like the whole collection.
~~EG1~~ AG1 is missing
AG1?
The single blade razor company, Henson, is missing.
Also cut elgato, g2a and raid.

I mean, their advertising obviously worked. We all recognize those names even though more than half barely even do sponsorships anymore or not at all. Instead of making commercials look like memes they just flooded the internet and let us make the memes for them.
