You still get their obnoxious "screwdriver, lttstore, waterbottle" reminders in every single video. Their 10sec in-video ads aren't that bad, but other channels have 2min ads within 8min videos. Which mean's paying users still get more ads than someone with browser extensions/modified apps.
The whole thing is a race to the bottom. People use adblock because there are just too many Youtube ads. Creators get less money from Youtube, so they resort to more and more in-video ads, and eventually SponsorBlock gets more appealing.
To be fair, BG3 just runs like crap. I'm playing it mostly on a decent PC, there were some dips in act 1 and 2, but act 3 has a lot more dips.
Still a great game, and the city maps in act 3 are pretty packed, but the frametime consistency is pretty poor.
And Vulkan was even worse, slighly lower avg FPS, same inconsistency and graphic glitches (random flickering black or white squares).
I see the "verified" badge more as a "no need to fiddle to get the game running" not a "you get locked 30fps with decent graphics" guarantee.
Always subjective what "runs well", someone might be accustomed to 4k@144hz while someone else is used to "cinematic" 30fps.
Both will notice the unstable 30fps, but the latter wont mind, just like most players didn't mind with Zelda TotK.
