> Surely it’s only a matter of time before youtube starts doing this too. I recently learned about the SponsorBlock extension[1] for YouTube. It's a crowdsourced collection of the location and duration of in-band sponsorships in YouTube videos. The extension queries the database for each video, then skips over the sponsorship portion of the video. I don't use it myself, since I don't mind skipping sponsorships manually, but it's kind of fascinating that it exists and (apparently) works.
