This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

Have you noticed how many YouTube videos are suddenly now including their own ad soundbites? Not even an ad from YouTube, but sponsor messages read by the creator themselves in the video. These are becoming increasingly common.

    SponsorBlock has been a huge help for me for the past 3+ years. Lets you skip all of these, as well as other things.

    How does it detect the right parts of a video to skip, if it’s a soundbite from the video creator themselves? Live monitoring of the video with a detection model?

    User submissions. There's a leaderboard and people are crazy fast at submitting them. I've seen 30 minute videos have the sponsor sections blocked out within 10 minutes of being posted

    As an example, here are the stats for my sponsor block:

    You've saved people from 3,297 segments ( 2d 17h 7.0 minutes of their lives )

    You've skipped 577 segments ( 10h 18.6 minutes )

    I mean this is generally a sign of growth by the content creator, shifting from whatever "personalized" ads the ad network decides to show, to having their own relationships with advertisers and doing their own ads. Honestly its a good thing because it means that the people making the content also have full control over who they sell ad space to and how that ad space is used, and if viable platforms other than Youtube existed, they would be able to to run their videos profitably without excessive user tracking
