How does that work? Do these blockers somehow know which part of a video is sponsored material? Or is it crowd-sourced (for want of a better term) with people manually submitting reports of sponsored sections which are then applied for all users?
It's user submitted as to where the blocks are, so a very new video won't have it yet. One that's been up for a while, and with enough votes, then yes.
Cool, thanks for the info.
Big channels will pretty much immediately have it in place for a new video
It's all crowd-sourced.
Nice one, thanks
