I thought this is to skip ads, but no, it is to skip sponsored content inside the video file. I loaded a Veritasium video to check (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDek6cYijxI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDek6cYijxI), the video started playing, I looked at the bar and saw no yellow markers, and figured the extension is useless for me. Then I clicked "unskip" and realized it had already skipped over the Veritasium sponsored content straight to the start of the video. Magical.
