Lol. Use Libredirect extension to redirect all YouTube URLs in your browser to an invidious instance, don’t even worry if video doesn’t load, copy url, yt-dlp said url, make sure to add sponsor block flags to yt-dlp command. Don’t even need ublock. mpv your ad free sponsor less video, hold onto it forever if you want.
Does it mark the sponsors for skipping, or completely not download the sponsor sections? Once in a while I’ll actually watch those ad spots from a few creators
Yeah I know what it is, and how it works online, but when it’s used with YouTube-dlp does it actually download the whole video and mark the skips, or does it skip downloading those parts entirely?
yt-dlp edits the video once its downloaded on your device. So when the sponsor mention comes up, it just cuts to the next piece of content that comes after the sponsor mention. It does download the entire video, but then it uses ffmpeg (I think) to edit the sponsor mentions out.

It’s crowdsourced. Viewers tag sections as sponsor segments and the extension skips those sections.
