Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

Dr becky (atrology channel) also did a few sponsorships with them and got lots of unhappy comments under those videos. Not sure if she still sticks with them or no. Aaaaaaaand I just checked her last video from 7 hours ago and she still gets sponsorships from them. Top comments are asking her to stop accepting those sponsorships pointing out their doings.

I don't watch any video that's sponsored by Ground News, and I complain in the comments

Sponsor block x new pipe and its not a problem

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It very much is still a problem. It's unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.

Where did you get yours? I have Newpipe, but I'm having a hard time finding the version with sponsor block? Is it called Tubular now?

I switched to Pipepipe from Newpipe because I wasn't sure Newpipe was being maintained. Pipepipe has SponsorBlock.
