A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I wonder how much of youtube content is hardcoded sponsor ads. (lemmy.ca)

Like when the creator does their spiel for whatever sponsor.

Sometimes the creators do funny ways to introduce their sponsors, I really like that. For example donut, even if it's a fun skit they even place a progress bar on the bottom. It's the main reason I set sponsorblock to "notify, but don't skip the segment"

Other times instead it's the whole video to be secretly sponsored, like many unboxing channels. In that case sponsorblock should warn "error: no content found"

I love Jay Foreman's sponsored segments. Absolutely hilarious stuff at times.

Second this some of the only sponsored segments I don't mind watching.
