This had to happen, right?
It reminds me of Adblock Radio [1, 2], which blocks ads on radios using several techniques (it has nothing to do with the Adblock browser extension).
Maybe they could share some knowledge, especially on things based on sound analysis? Seems hard to do for sponsored content though (nobody would be able to talk about $PICK_A_POPULAR_VPN on YouTube anymore, ah ah).

- Nextgrid 7y agoWell this wouldn’t happen if creators were more picky with their sponsors and there was more variety. As it stands, there’s only a few legitimate sponsors (so you would’ve already heard of them from other videos) and the rest is dubious garbage like VPNs and pay-to-win mobile games).
- ajayyy 7y agoExactly. I made this only because I couldn't stand how deceptive many modern sponsors are. If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have wasted time making this. - sponsorblock dev
- DonCopal 7y agoThe problem is you'd need to download the audio from YouTube first to analyse it. Or even the video if it would somehow detect it from image. Not only is this slow, but also against the terms of service. With a podcast you already have the audio.
