Basically. It’s community driven, so people have to mark sections of the video as an ad, or filler, or whatever else it may be. Then you can set it up to skip particular sections, mute during them, or other things.
It makes it really easy to mark segments too, so while new or unpopular videos may not be marked when you watch them, it’s easy for you to add the marks for others who see it.
I wish they could find a better solution because some people have terrible editing skills. I’ve seen far too many videos where dialog like “but first, a word from our sponsor” and “now back to the video” is still left in before/after the skip. The edit should be seamless, as if the sponsored segment was never there to begin with.
That said, it’s still better than no SponsorBlock at all.
Does this fast forward past ad reads in YouTube videos?
