I know about it but don’t have it installed. What am I missing? If I want to skip a sponsorship I just press my arrow keys so I don’t see the big deal.
It’s all crowdsourced. Users can submit labeled segements (intro/intermission, sponsor, self-promotion, non-music, filler, etc.) and you can adjust the client side settings to either prompt to skip, automatically skip, or ignore segments for those categories. It’s a huge time saver.
SponsorBlock automatically skips the entire sponsorship as soon as it starts, so a lot of the time you wouldn’t even know it was there if you didn’t see the green section of the playback bar.
It’s not just for sponsorships, either. You can set it to skip intro animations, reminders to subscribe, self promotion, etc.
Skips not just sponsors, but also intros, outros, interaction requests “like, comment, subscribe, buy out merch”, filler & jokes if you want. It can easily cut vids down to half the length in some cases (without actually missing any real content).

Imagine that being automatic. There is no interruption at all.
just a very strange cut
