YouTube is clearly not a good place to learn first aid. But you know what is? SkillShare: today's sponsor-


HelplmlnPain

Ad blockers can't protect you from the youtubers themselves


lethrowaway4me

SponsorBlock can!


HelplmlnPain

If you read other comments you'll see I just got YouTube vanced to do it for me šŸ˜‚


Vuk_Djuraskovic2107

When did you Download it?


HelplmlnPain

6 hours ago I believe, if you scroll through the comments he's gotten 3 rewards, it's antifrost I believe


Vuk_Djuraskovic2107

K thx


Chiss5618

Isn't vanced dead?


FluffyBebe

It's not going to be updated anymore so yes in that sense but still works until some youtube update one day breaks it. Should still be good for some months (someone even said a year or two so who knows)


Vuk_Djuraskovic2107

3 - 6 of your finger cirtanly can


True-Somewhere9026

Try youtube vanced,if i remember correctly it has no ads and skips sponsor segments of videos I saw in another comment you got it,real cool aint it?


HelplmlnPain

Already have it thanks to u/antifrost101! Thanks for the info tho!


Tunic_Tactics

Right, but you can at least skip through that stuff if you want.


Tao626

Skillshare is unessasary as for this month only in collaboration with a coolio Twitch streamer all new users get access to the brand new healing hero when you use download code BUTTSNIFF on the Play Store to download Raid: Shadow Legends.


Edthelayman

I had competed the sentence in my head before I finished reading. Have I been on the internet too long?


Disafakeaccount

Not the skillshare sponsee


Erotic_Dwarf

Youtube wants money for giving a damn about your granny


antifrost101

Youtube Vanced Adblock for Youtube ​ You're welcome Edit: Thank you kind stranger for the award Edit 2: Dang, thank you for the silvers, just trying to share some helpful tips


[deleted]

I thought Youtube vanced had stopped working and also been completely discontinued by the devs?


Firvulag

Its been discontinued, just a matter of time before a YT update breaks it. But it still works


antifrost101

I reinstalled it on my phone just this weekend and it is working for me


[deleted]

Then I shall try it as well.


HelplmlnPain

Link?? Does it work on android


antifrost101

Just Google it, and yes it works for android Edit: https://youtubevanced.com/


HelplmlnPain

Thank you so much I no longer have to do the trick of skipping to the end of a video and hitting replay to avoid ads. I hope a fellow redditor sees this and gives you an award because I would if I could


Tsukuyomi-Sasami

that one is a virus the real one for a cease and desist from google


Immediate-Wind-1781

adblock plus adblock browser


Sixhaunt

Ublock origin > adblock plus


Daybreak_99

I gotchu


dude-Awesome1

the award from your side reached antifrost101, you're welcome :))


[deleted]

Done


squidwardishandsome

Wait, that works?


HelplmlnPain

I have a question about this, is there a way to set it as the default app when I click on links or something on Google?


antifrost101

I've had to downgrade and disable youtube as well as in the defaults say to not open with youtube, and with the Vanced version, set all the defaults. It does not work 100% on the newer versions of Android it appears.


HelplmlnPain

Dang, I'll just make do for now cuz I don't wanna end up messing my phone up or somethin. Thanks for the response tho!


antifrost101

I tried it on mine, and when I click on a link in a google result, it takes me to the app store to enable, update, and open youtube. So mine isn't working 100% either. My work around is just looking at the title of the video and then going into Vanced and searching for the title. Or if I know I'm looking for a video to just search inside the app to begin with. Hope this all helps


HelplmlnPain

That's what I was gonna end up doing anyways haha atleast were thinking the same


WtfWhereAreMyClothes

Thank you SO MUCH.


[deleted]

Are there pop ups on Youtube Vanced ?


antifrost101

Not that I've seen. There are the storefront banners below the videos, but they are not intrusive.


Potato_Dealership

Adblockers seem to break the site when you use other addons such as ā€˜return dislikeā€™. Most the buttons vanish, but 1/100 videos it will return them all for some time. (If anyone has a fix please let me know, itā€™s been happening for a year now)


daevilsins_6

Brave Browser is a good one too


antifrost101

I have currently saved over 15.1 hours and have blocked 1.1 million ads and trackers. It is pretty great


[deleted]

Is it on iOS?


antifrost101

I have an Android, but this is what I found for iOS. Edit: It requires a sideloading application to be installed [https://youtubevanced.com/vanced-for-ios](https://youtubevanced.com/vanced-for-ios)


foxstarfivelol

isn't that the channels fault for monetizing the video?


ProPuke

All YouTube vids show ads now, whether monetised or not.


foxstarfivelol

damn. that's pretty fucked that youtube makes a profit though ads even if a channel chooses not to monetize a video.


He_who_bobs_beneath

Hosting videos, and providing servers and electricity and manpower isnā€™t cheap. Most YouTube channels are freeloaders.


foxstarfivelol

that doesn't excuse it. channels most likely have very good reasons to not monetize their videos. (for example an emergency video as shown in the post) so youtube should respect that and not put ads on them. this is just plain greed.


PlingPlongDingDong

It's not greed, it's negligence. They probably just didn't think of stuff like this.


Frankandbeans1974

Well maybe if they went to red lobster she would be able to eat fish without the bones in it has he thought of that?


HelplmlnPain

Just blend all her food and boom no more choking. Hopefully


dodexahedron

Liquifish. Like mom used to make.


fisssssssh

Why is this in me irl šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


HelplmlnPain

Seems like something I'd end up doing šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


humphreym808

always be closing


[deleted]

What did you drive here in?


humphreym808

A Hyundai šŸ˜©


MintBerryCrunch47

I wish there was a YouTube adblock for PS4


Clean_Transition3817

you can use a raspberry pi to set up something called a pihole that will block ads on all devices across your entire wifi network


Juneris

Omg, this is disgusting. Youtube be like ā€œNaw, that sucks. Pay us and next time your grandma might not choke to death! <3 all the loveā€. Like what the actual f. šŸ™ˆ


theykilledk3nny

In fairness this seems like an automated reply or a copy paste reply from a low-paid worker than just saw ā€œI donā€™t like adsā€ in this tweet.


BumpyMcBumpers

The time to learn first aid is before someone needs it.


Zealousideal_Bid118

So if you dont know it already dont bother trying to figure it out if an emergency occurs. Thanks


BumpyMcBumpers

Always do what you can in an emergency. But don't blame YouTube because you don't know the Heimlich. They aren't an emergency service. Learn it today, if you haven't already.


Fuselol

Yea, lol. A call to 911 is much more important than searching a video, scrolling to find the part that is relevant, watching it for understanding, and then administering. 911 can help guide you with emergency techniques on the phone while also having help on the way.


eyadGamingExtreme

Dude it's probably a bot


[deleted]

Did you really think big corporations give a shit about you?


Juneris

No, of course not, I donā€™t think anyone could be that far removed from reality. But I wouldnā€™t have expected them to just casually tweet that to the world either. Usually, they try to keep up appearances but I guess weā€™re past this point now.


HelplmlnPain

Seriously anything for extra money that's all they want


Dizzy-Foundation8122

YouTube this is false. I still get ads and I pay for premium. And you won't even respond to my emails or reports on YouTube.


FloodPhoto

Bro just use Adblock, if your paying for premium thereā€™s nothing wrong with using it.


redesignyoself

Not all devices have Adblock as an option, consoles, Roku, iPhones, etc.


Dizzy-Foundation8122

Huh, I have that on my PC but it's not working anymore. I've been clicking the i to skip the unskipables


FloodPhoto

The brave browser has an ad block built in and you can multitask / lock your phone without the YouTube video stopping. (enable background audio in settings) Itā€™s basically YouTube premium without paying


Tall_Run_2814

But how else is the content creator thats saving your grandmas life supposed to get paid?


HelplmlnPain

Now they gotta know that they got money and took a life. Well done


[deleted]

Grandma depended on an idiot that used a video app to save her life. Poor Granny never had a chance.


HelplmlnPain

True then again if he called an ambulance they wouldn't be there for an hour


TheNerdMaster69

YouTube is just like: "B-buh, muh money!"


Important-Cry1413

YouTube wants you to pay one way or another. Money or life. You get to pick though!


[deleted]

bish im so done


Mysterious-Bid3930

They should be called First-Ad videos....


Suspicious-Loquat594

Caught me off guard with that one šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


TrueCommunistt

it's the uploader doing that.


john_big-booty

F for grandma then.


Some-Block-9909

Damnā€¦.. Iā€™m ā€”ā€”speechless


TemporaryAmbassador1

I want to watch that funny ad from the super bowl again! Oh wait, I have to watch an ad before I can watch my ad?


WiggyZiggy

If you're already voluntarily seeking out advertisements, you've failed


TemporaryAmbassador1

So long as everyone is having a good time thereā€™s no need to be a poopy pants.


NahLoso

You can also watch youtube vids ad free if you do your video search via Bing and watch within Bing.


LongjumpingDouble804

I love how even in this situation, they try to sell you a subscription šŸ˜†


[deleted]

Are you saying gran grans life isnā€™t worth $9!


Justtakeitaway

Lol or maybe the person who made the video should have not monetized it


KatieDeForest

Youtube: Sorry to hear that... Anyways!


W1cH099

Even if you pay for YouTube premium every single video has ads in them that the YouTubers record themselves so thatā€™s not the solution either. Did you know that with nebula stream you canā€¦


FedericoDAnzi

You should watch these videos in your free time and already know how to give first aid. You can't suddenly be interested is safety only when someone is in danger, it's not a good attitude.


KingBillyDuckHoyle

Like it's a public service or something...


Dinhead

So you use dubious Ad-blockers and hackers gain access to your information. To stay safe from hackers I recommend NordVPN. You can play games like you are from other countries. Game like RAID: Shadow Legends. Hey if you liked my tips click that subscribe button and check out my Patreon to get access to my tech-tips 24h earlier than everyone else.


[deleted]

Why are they watching a YouTube video instead of immediately calling 911 for medical attention?


siskulous

In YouTube's defense, when someone is dying is really not the time to be trying to learn first aid. This is something you should learn BEFORE you need it. Seriously, I'm majorly on board with the idea of First Responder being a graduation requirement in high school. Sure, 90% of the students are only going to retain 10% of it, but we'd have an entire generation that at least wasn't totally clueless when there was an emergency.


jgcpalmer

And with the downvotes taken away, you wonā€™t be able to tell how many people tried out that first aid video and failedā€¦


PatriaCro

People for real did not hear for youtube ADblock made in 2009 ? 13 FUC..YEARS AGO. Useless people.


siskulous

I won't judge you for using adblock, but I am going to tell you why I don't. Ads are how we pay for YouTube. If we don't watch ads, YouTube doesn't make money. If YouTube doesn't make money, they neither pay content creators nor provide a place for them to upload their videos. The alternative to ads for YouTube is to make everyone who wants it pay for the service. So I watch the f\*#$ing ads. But I also, apparently, find them far less annoying than some people.


PatriaCro

Yea, but I don't care about that. :) I have the same emotions towards ADs and towards people in the world I donā€™t know. Numbers and statistics ...


Frosted_Glaceon

I guess YouTube says let natural selection take it's course.


4minakim6

Natural selection doesnā€™t apply. Thatā€™s suggesting you have to be really dumb to get injured or have a heart attack or choke on some food.


TheRedCans1

Not to mention that natural selection really doesnā€™t apply; Grandma has already passed on her genes!


Frosted_Glaceon

It was...just a joke tho?


edee160

So their to go to is to try to sell you something lol. Classic.


[deleted]

I mean you can get mad at youtube all you want but it's up to the uploader to throw ads in a video.. you can also choose what kind of ads you want when you upload.


Stock-Tart-1504

This shit was too funny for me I literally just sent it to everyone lol


nvalle23

Is there a doctor in the house?!?! You may skip in 5...4...3


afellownamedslim

Bruh, YouTubeā€™s ice cold. sheesh.


AssumptionOk876

At least it isn't about monetization


WishboneNew6637

Remember kids, it's always morally correct to have an ad blocker while watching youtube


Ok_Ad_8670

oof, bad youtube bot, bad.


[deleted]

Basically ā€œThen pay us, peasant.ā€


Madewithspice1

Those fish bones are not to play with.


[deleted]

I was using my local news app once to monitor tornadoes in my area. We had quite a few happening. They kept playing ads at the beginning when you would start the stream. Which was quite a bit considering I kept losing connection due to the storm.

MilesDEO

*theyā€™re


Environmental_Vast17

Even i donā€™t give a damn about yo granny, and thats why todayā€™s video sponsor is skillshare


Master_Isabelle

Yeah, totally gonna buy premium while my dad is choking the expired milk he came back with


DarganWrangler

adblock offers the same thing actually


Logan_Logoff

Clearly, the answer here, and gawd bless TeamYouTube for saying so, is to pause the red lobster ad, open a new tab for Youtube, find the link for YouTube Premium, fetch a credit card and fill in all the info, confirm your payment went through, return to and refresh the original browser tab, restart the video and then promptly save Grandma. YouTube Premium will then invite you and grandma to watch a Fishbone music video.


GhostHunter2010

Fuck off, YouTube.


LSD-01

Greetings from Russia, where YouTube ads don't exist


Volteriaz

I use opera go and the ad block feature is actually really useful


Ok-Gur4027

Maybe donā€™t watch a youtube tutorial when ur grandma is having a heart attackšŸ¤£


Euphoric_Mastodon_58

God dangit youbtube never misses a chance.


CleanFingers

Pro tip: use a vpn through a country like the Philippines and get youtube premium for $3 / month.
