minus-square@Akasazh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agoI’ve never seen an ad for honey, not heard of it’s existence before this video. Ad blocking is the way
minus-square@Scrollone@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 months agoHmm ad blocking is not enough, because many YouTubers sponsor Honey inside of their videos. Maybe you also use Sponsorblock.
minus-square@EngineerGaming@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoI use Sponsorblock, but still hear ads sometimes because it’s not applied to downloads.
minus-square@Akasazh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoNo I didn’t use sponsor block, I often manually skip sponsored sections. But none of the channels I follow shill for honey, apparently, and that’s a big plus.
