SponsorBlock

SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos.
Pricing:
- Open Source
> a creator having a "merch" ad integration doesn't count as an ad. This is why you also install sponsorblock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/). Only whitelist the channels you want to "support", if you really want to make sure to eyeball the sponsorship (which doesn't really help unless it happens to be a product you actually are interested in buying).

Mastodon

Mastodon is a decentralized, open source social network. This is just one part of the network, run by the main developers of the project It is not focused on any particular niche interest - everyone is welcome!

At the very least, everyone sees the same ads. Bus stop ads (for now) don't have access to your private information, don't make models out of you and don't abuse that information in order to serve you highly targeted ads. It's creepy. https://mastodon.social/@lazycouchpotato/111251984595065259.
