SponsorBlock effectively does this without the creators help. Even directly subscribing to creators these days isn’t enough, they want you to buy their merch and they almost never consider that a sponsorship. Need to stop acting like these big players are barely making any money.


I second the recommendation for SponsorBlock!

    You've saved people from 10,945 segments ( 2d 17h 9.6 minutes of their lives )
    You've skipped 4,006 segments ( 1d 9h 11.8 minutes )


It doesn’t help on TV/mobile though, right?

I do appreciate that a lot of creators have been putting the “progress bar” during the sponsored segment that make them easier to skip


There’s a reason your TV’s manufacturer doesn’t allow you to install browser addons (or for that matter any software that you really control) on your TV.


I think it works on Firefox for Android.
