Sponsorblock can be used to skip the ads content creators put into their videos

Ehm, yes and no, it can only if the sponsorblock is marked as such in the Video, but not if, for example the author, while he speaks about his teme, also said that he also want to agree the Energy Drink which sponsor his vids, presenting the Brand. That can't avoid none of the sponsor block scripts, because its in the same video presentation.It's exactly this what ocurres more and more.
