This might be interesting for some.
I personally don't use sponsorblock because the videos i watch don't usually have sponsors and when they do i can easily skip, but some here might find it useful

    I use an ad-blocker and it already block the ads from YouTube. What is the point of this specific add-on ?

      Basically, there are two types of ads on the youtubes. One type is the actual ads that are sometimes unskippable and are marked by the yellow progress bar. Then there are sponsored ads which come in the middle of the video (for example: this video was sponsored by NordVPN) and are put in the actual video. Usually these are very short and only like 2-5 seconds long.

      I don't really get the point of sponsorblock either since I can just skip them by pressing the arrow key)
