Sponsorblock doesn’t catch sponsored segments, viewers do that. Do your part, add the timestamps when you see a sponsor.
Some youtubers make in depth documentaries, then ruin it replacing the conclusion with a sponsor segment. This airport has a website and now so can you with our sponsor!
SuperRaeDizzle once did a video about Amazon’s scummy practices (I think it was a about the way they take third party bestsellers, find the suppliers and then source their own knockoff version from the exact same supplier). And then she immediately plugs her amazon affiliate links and I think promoted their basics art products. Like, come on.
The thing about your turn of phrase that seems odd to me is that you’re focusing specifically on the videos you see soon after uploading/before other users have a chance to flag Sponsorblock, and not all sponsors equally. Your boycott shouldn’t depend on whether you see the sponsor segment or not; it should depend on whether it’s there at all to begin with.
Hmm… I bet somebody could make a tool that references the Sponsorblock database to download all the sponsored segments, apply some AI to figure out who the sponsor is, and then insert it into another database of statistics about who is sponsoring Youtubers, on which channels, and how often.
Then folks like @[email protected] could avoid them easily simply by checking that handy list.

I’m aware of that. It was just a turn of phrase.

Except for one thing: you can’t know who to boycott if you never see their sponsored ad because it was blocked.
