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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

For real. I tried to show my dad a YouTube video on his phone not too long ago and just outright gave up after seeing that the duration of the ads would exceed the duration of the video. Revanced gang forever

Oh damn, did something replace vanced? I was super bummed out when mine stopped working and started watching youtube through brave browser on mobile.

I never removed Vanced and it still works, it's just not maintained anymore so someday in the future it may not, when YouTube changes enough that makes it unable to function.

Yeah, Revanced is an app that can apply patches to other apps (mainly YouTube)

I'm more of a Libretube or Newpipe x Sponsorblock guy but glad to revanced be successful nonetheless

I didn’t realize how bad some channels sponsor to content ratio was until I started using sponsorblock and got to see a representation of the ratios in the video timeline highlighted in color.

It’s definitely changed the game for me, even if I used to just use the “jog keys” to do the same thing.
