Installed Brave. No plugins yet but it seems to block quite well on youtube.

EDIT: Installed Stands AdBlocker.

May switch to Chrome. Brave is fucked up when it comes to scaling pages not to mention that the fonts in the Brave menus are really small (and can't be changed).

Scaling, the same as Chrome. You can zoom in, out. Mine is set to 110% by default.

For YT I also use "SponsorBlock", skips ads, self-promotion and such baked into the video (ie the guy chilling his own stuff/sponsored products and so on).

Really love it.

man YT is straight up unwatchable without Sponsorblock. I CANNOT GO BACK to YT without it.
The highlight feature where it shows you when the youtuber fuck finally gets to the point is also essential and it's often in the last 15%-20% of a heavily padded sponsor spot ridden video. Laughing

Since when did every YT video need to be 30mins-1hr+ long about an idea that can be summed up in a single sentence? algorithmic enshittification is too real. I found myself watching less and less YT and just watching TV shows instead.

Going back to monkey Laughing

But yeah, without SponsorBlock, some stuff is straight up unwatchable.
Like you said, it also eliminates the build-up to the shilling itself.

ie I like CombatVetNews for info, but the guy would segway from a potent argument to go like "If you're a real solid dude, you'll chew my cafeine gums".

Yeah, ok, fuck you. The fact that this thing eliminates the lead-up to an ad entirely, makes for an actually watchable video.

I think enshittification will get so bad that sponsorblock will skip 90% of the timeline in most videos you watch Laughing

main subject: two to three sentences
the rest of the video: shilling, filler, random rants, unrelated rambling to pad those watchtime analytics.

I mean we're already there.

Any idea/tool/website to figure out which these are? Even the link would do, so I can then google it or search for it on preservetube/internet archives.

This

only leads to this

which does nothing at all.
Fuck this retarded website

Thanks herry, that found one of them, only 15 to go Razz
EDIT: aside from another hidden video... FOUND THEM ALL! on utube studio, if you check the playlist they're all there. Only one of them is privated, with no link info (Sad) but aside from that it was a great victory!
It's just music BTW... this weekend I'll collect them all and upload privated versions, guess that'll be the only way they'll never go away.
