I agree to an extent but i think the relative proportions of people doing any workaround falls off exponentially as you go down that list. Probably lots and lots of people do ad block, because ads are horrible and long and disruptive and just suck. Significantly less people do sponsor block, for one, you can just click through it, there's no unskippable 3 minute sponsor in a youtube video, and the actual sponsors are significantly less adversly psychological, a real human you trust telling you something is wayb easier to listen to than the product of many committees focused on obviously manipulating your emotions.

And then for the video summaries, probably some people will do it. But i would literally never, it's crazy. I enjoy the videos because of their creativity, their visuals are usually important, the voice is soothing and interesting, and the nuances of the content are all crafted by a human with your interests in mind. To replace that with some auto closed caption summarizing gpt shit would be ridiculous. I strongly doubt that this will gain significant traction anywhere near where sponsorblock currently is. If someone would rather see a paragraph summary then they probably wouldn't watch much of the video anyway.

This strikes me as scared and somewhat defeatist. As media changes, audiences and what they demand changes. We don't listen to radio periodicals anymore because we have better ways to get that information across. I don't see anything other than maybe augmented reality that could possibly usurp the throne that video currently sits upon. Certainly not some llm generated summary crap
