I cannot stand SponsorBlock anymore. It’s been abused so much, that any time any video even slightly mentions a brand, sponsor or not, it skips it.
I find that it breaks context in a lot of videos, and you end up missing important stuff. I especially find it to be true in LTT videos.
For me, SponsorBlock is disabled until they fix the abuse. There’s a very clear difference between a SPONSOR and just mentioning an entity that exists on this planet.
Bad segments are definitely a problem. At least for the channels I watch, the sponsor segments tend to be well done, but for other categories there’s often weird segments. Manual skip is still quite useful though.
I definitely agree with SponsorBlock there when it’s on its default settings, however I find that lots of those issues are solvable by utilizing it’s pretty decent customizability. Being able to identify channels which have manageable sponsor spots and excluding them can limit lots of those issues and fine-tune what types of things get skipped automatically or manually can make it a lot more manageable and only auto-skipping the most egregious things.
@JshKlsn @admin I agree with ya. Sometimes I actually wanna hear what product they are talking about but it’s incredibly hard.
Channels like rctestflight frequently mention multiple products they use in their builds but people block that for some reason… like what’s the point of it?
