    WARNING: CORRUPT DISCORD MODS PROTECTING YOUTUBERS

    The video >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TfI7Z2L7Xw&t=314s
    The message >> https://i.imgur.com/gDAnPCs.png

    Tried to add sponsor block to a famous YouTuber's (Linus TechLinked) video recently, only to be told that moderators have blocked us from adding any new blocks cause "the current blocks are timed perfectly". BTW, there were zero blocks when I was watching the video, and it was a new video.

    In other words, now YouTubers can buy moderators who sit on Discord and decide which YouTuber you can create sponsor blocks for or not.

    What a scummy P.O.S add-on. Wonder if the creator (Ajay Ramachandran) knows and is part of this scam and making money blackmailing YouTubers.

    Why would you even allow a bunch of random people on Discord decide which video gets sponsor blocks or not? This is one way to ruin everything this add-on stands for.


    And the segment is advertising "Mech Arena Robot Showdown", it is an obvious AD even posted in comment under the video. Apparently Discord mods of this add-on disagreed that was an AD. I guess this add-on's moderators moderate Wikipedia, cause the intelligence definitely matches, or the morals.

    won't block annoying outro/ending animations

    edit: wrong, moderators have locked certain videos from them being blocked

    I installed this and tried it and was not able to make it work. None of my friends could figure it out either. Out consensus: Does not work! Maybe we missed something... Either way, it got removed. Sorry, no offense intended.

    Great idea, terrible execution. Instead of actually allowing you to skip what you want, certain videos from certain channels are allowed to bypass this entirely and they will show you their ads regardless. STOP ALLOWING YT CHANNELS TO PAY OFF THIS DEVELOPER

    Edit: To be specific, whenever you try to skip a certain segment on certain videos the message is displayed:
    "New submissions are not allowed for the following category: 'sponsor'. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly."

    Thanks moderator, you made the decision for the community. Why even bother having one then?

    Why would you believe such a rediculus conspiracy?

    Edit: If you think a video was locked incorrectly, send a message on discord. You are probably referring to either self promotion or fully sponsored videos that need their disclaimers shown to show bias. No one is paying me, we just are trying to not spread misinformation

    Works great if you don't need the whitelist function; if you do, seems to depend on whether the addon is having a good day or not.

    The issue seems to be that the extension doesn't have permission to the domain used for getting the YouTube video info. The next update adds a check for it and will then prompt a permission prompt. The current workaround is to give it access to all sites: https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/issues/611#issuecomment-801579094

    Next update is still WIP, but that part is already implemented if you want to clone from source: https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/pull/690

    What?? I think you got the wrong addon. This does not do any of this. Look through your addons to make sure you don't have any adware installed.
