    SponsorBlock has been a huge help for me for the past 3+ years. Lets you skip all of these, as well as other things.

      How does it detect the right parts of a video to skip, if it’s a soundbite from the video creator themselves? Live monitoring of the video with a detection model?

        User submissions. There’s a leaderboard and people are crazy fast at submitting them. I’ve seen 30 minute videos have the sponsor sections blocked out within 10 minutes of being posted

        As an example, here are the stats for my sponsor block:

        You’ve saved people from 3,297 segments ( 2d 17h 7.0 minutes of their lives )

        You’ve skipped 577 segments ( 10h 18.6 minutes )
