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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  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?

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

yt-dlp works, not sure about youtube-dl
