    It would be really cool to be able to download YouTube videos withour the sponsorship segments, I wonder if there is a way to do his already?

      yt-dlp has a command-line option to download videos while using sponsor block.

      yt-dlp https://youtube... --sponsorblock-remove all

        Honestly, I’m ok with at least giving channel ad reads a shot. Those aren’t based on my watch history/search history and the channel owner actually gets a good cut. Almost nobody can make a living with google ads.

      Like the ads surrounding the video and breaking the video up or the spots in the video where the creator hawks their latest wares?
