Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

Oh, ffs. You dont see that the reason you "need" sponsorblock is because we used adblock so much that the only way the creators could make a living was injecting their own adds into their own videos.
The money youtube makes from selling your data does not cover the cost of running the business.
What about all the creators of videos you watched that you dont support on patreon? They dont deserve anything for their work?
Ok a few points.
Youtube is in their right to show ads and shove them in my face. They can also try to block my adblocker. Their platform their rules.
Youtubers adding sponsors into their Video is because Youtube does not pay them for the ads that are shown, or at least not fairly. Also because people want to earn money with Youtube which is partially a problem in the first place.
Yes youtube is expensive to run and they have been in the minus for years, but just as they make profit they go all the way and force you into Premium! They can try that but it's in my right to use the Service with adblock and sponsorblock until they go to a subscription only Service.
