SponsorBlock will skip most of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. It's pretty much required if you want to watch youtube now.

    use mpv https://youtube.com/watch?v=video_id

    you need yt-dlp for it and some obscure config file maybe. just search for it.

    That skips the youtube ads, but it will still have the sponsored segments that the uploaders put in their videos unless you install the SponsorBlock script for mpv.

    I think you can get yt-dlp to integrate Sponsorblock as well but I've never tried setting it up myself

    Yes, you can use the --sponsorblock-mark parameter to add chapter marks around the segments and the --sponsorblock-remove parameter to cut the segments out of the video. I would suggest adding them to the config file for yt-dlp so you don't have to add the parameters and all of the categories to the command every time.

    Mpv doesn't use the download function of yt-dlp, so those options won't work with mpv. You have to install the script for that.
