      As true as that is, in an emergency people don’t always have time to seek out professional help, and it ain’t like calling 911 will magically make an ambulance appear in 30 seconds.

      Also, the Institute Of Human Anatomy actually has a YouTube channel…

        911 dispatchers are trained and certified to provide concise and accurate medically reviewed instructions over the phone so that you are not just standing there waiting for the ambulance.

          One would think that that’s the case, but youtube will happily show you ads on videos they themselves deemed not advertiser friendly. The creator simply doesn’t receive any money.

    Like even if there were no ads you’d learn how to help in a timely manner.

      Well I’m sure everybody here on Lemmy already uses ublock. The rest of society doesn’t really know all these methods

        Adblocking on mobile is much harder than adblocking on desktop, and if you’re in an emergency situation like the one described, you’re more likely on your phone.

        Personally I use ReVanced, which incorporates adblocking as well as giving you Premium features like background playing & PIP (while also keeping the benefits of being signed in to YT, like using your playlists, comments, etc.). But if I were an iPhone user I don’t know how I would watch YouTube.

          Revanced is complicated because you first need to find a compatible YouTube version (old version) and download it’s APK. Then, you need to uninstall YouTube, apply Revanced to the downloaded APK and then install it Only to discover the Cast button was removed by Revanced. When you start over, deselect “remove cast button from video player”, you still end up without it.

          I can’t even cast to SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV…

          Way too complex and too limiting for 99.99% of YouTube watchers.

              The only app revanced has is the “revanced manager”, which requires you to manually download a youtube apk and then patch it yourself. Any finished revanced youtube client you find online is done by a third party and is very risky to use.

            Maybe NewPipe is something for you, as it has most of the features mentioned above and is easy to install via F-Droid. I’m using it for years now and really love it!

                I think there even is an app called “NewPipe Sponsorblock” on F-Droid but I dunno about the cast function.
