I will say, at first I was skeptical Sponsorblock would work, but after trying it, I'm really surprised by how good it is. Even videos from smaller channels generally have annotations. I also really enjoy the other types of annotations, such as "highlight" which is often used to annotate when the important part of a video is. For example, during the 3 hour long launch broadcast for JWST, it was used to mark where the countdown starts.

NewPipe does not see themselves as a project focused on blocking ads but as a privacy first project. See their reasoning for rejecting the sponsor block PR here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/3205 https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/3205 One can disagree with their decision but I can understand why they did this and since somebody offers builds, I don't understand why people are often angry towards the NewPipe maintainers.

A few YouTubers are circumventing SponsorBlock by namedropping their favorite VPN sporadically throughout their content. Not long before creators end up sounding like the Secretary of State from Idiocracy.

  Still possible to fix with SponsorBlock, but just makes the skips feel more awkward unfortunately. There is also mute segments to help make these more seemless

Not trying to make accusations but why would anyone block these segments? Isn't that how the content creator is making a living? I just skip them by hand if they go on and on or I've already seen it or whatever.

  why would you ask someone why they do something and then immediately explain that you literally do the exact same thing? the only difference is you do it manually and they found a way to automate it. the reason they skip them is the exact same reason people use ad block on youtube or download movies. they don't care and it's more convenient that way.

    I explained why I skipped it in some circumstances, I think I probably watch 90% of them. Or does this sponsor block thing let you choose when to skip? It didn't look like it but that would be great if so.

      For the Sponsorblock browser addons you can configure them to only show you a button to skip the segments if you like. I'm not sure if that option is available in Vanced or the NewPipe Sponsorblock fork.

      Only used it on desktop - it skips by default and you can tap enter to unskip. There's quite a few configurable options.

      The creator does not get money from you watching these ads, they get money from you buying the products or services advertized - if you're not going to buy any of these things anyhow then why subject yourself to it ? Skipping an ad for a VPN provider if your are not going to buy VPN services literally has zero effect. This even holds for ads where views are counted - if I'm not going to buy the wares you are screaming at me about and I chose to not watch this ad, thereby reducing the view count, what I have actually done is make the advertizement more targeted. I should be thanked and compensated for my free non-labour that I have given to the advertizement industry instead of vilified. Isn't this what they all want? Targeted ads ? I am not going to buy any of these godawful services and products in the first place, so why bother bothering me.
