i like how electroboom has a screen effect while he's doing the sponsor, so you can see where to skip

very classy, more channels should do this

Marcus House shows a progress bar at the bottom of the screen during sponsored segments, so you always know when to stop skipping.

I'm a big fan of this approach.
