A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That's what sponsor block is for.

You can download the entire SponsorBlock database (see https://sponsor.ajay.app/database and https://github.com/mchangrh/sb-mirror ), so it should be possible to calculate a reasonably accurate answer to OP's question.

You'd need to estimate for the videos absent from the database, of course.

Does SponsorBlock work with Invidious and LibRedirect in general?

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago

Invidious is supported according to the plugin description: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/

Is there a way to combo sponsor block with YouTube dl?

yt-dlp works, not sure about youtube-dl
