Is it based off of a database? Even fairly small YouTube channels seem to work with sponsor block as soon as the videos are uploaded. I always assumed YouTube requires creators to mark which sections are sponsored, and sponsor block has some way of looking that up.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoAccording to Wikipedia, the data is sourced from users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SponsorBlock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SponsorBlock > The extension relies on a user-submitted database to identify sponsorships in videos. > Extension users can submit segments in videos and vote on segments others have submitted.
