Just think about the amount of time the average human being could save in one year.
There is a shitload of unnecessary scenes that could be cut without losing anything of value.

Old, but still mostly relevant:
My dude, I pirate all my stuff.
I am talking about all the extras that is unnecessary, the intro, outro, unnecessary scenes, scenes that does not relate to the main content,…etc.
Have you tried watching movie recaps on youtube? It’s the other extreme but i find it good enough for movies I’ll never see. There’s lots of movies I’ve seen there I’m glad I didn’t watch for a full hour. Most movies have tons of similar tropes you can easily understand in like a 15 min sentence
Movie recaps does not have scenes, they just include a quick summary.
Yeah, idk. They’ll show the important scenes. Just not entirely or anything. lol
I was mostly joking but it’s def an option. It works if you just want the jist of the story and don’t really care about the acting or basically anything else
Jellyfin is adding a new MediaSegments API/plugin, which should allow any arbitrary segment of any piece of media to be skipped on (eventually) all Jellyfin clients.
Probably too small of an audience but I’m amazed that someone hasn’t released a podcast app that has sponsorblock. Podcast ads are so predictable I’d imagine an ML model would have no issue detecting them.
Or even if it was only reported manually via humans, it would still be worth it to give them the option, and on more popular podcasts it could help lots of people. In the meantime, I just listen to the YouTube video version of the podcasts, which usually have sponsorblock.
But then you lose the best fight in Deadpool and Wolverine because it’s a Honda Odyssey commercial.
For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.
I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.
I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point
