      Yep, I block the embedded ads from YouTube, too. I don’t use SponsorBlock to automatically skip the ad spots that the creator put in themselves, though. Sometimes they’re actually clever, but more to the point I have a lot more sympathy for the individual creator who gets all of that money than I do for the trillion-dollar multinational conglomerate.

        You can configure which categories to skip, so you could enable ad spots, yet still skip intros, or non-music portions of music videos, that kind of thing. There are 10 different categories.

          Oh, interesting! The last time I tried it was long, long ago, so I didn’t realize that they had expanded that configuration. Or maybe I just don’t remember seeing it.
