I've never seen an ad for honey, not heard of it's existence before this video.

Ad blocking is the way

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Hmm ad blocking is not enough, because many YouTubers sponsor Honey inside of their videos. Maybe you also use Sponsorblock.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago

No I didn't use sponsor block, I often manually skip sponsored sections.

But none of the channels I follow shill for honey, apparently, and that's a big plus.

I use Sponsorblock, but still hear ads sometimes because it's not applied to downloads.
