Sponsorblock depends on the users specifying which parts are which of course. It's not some kind of AI.

It's not perfect but I want to have the choice.

Wasn't trying to suggest it was AI. I'm aware it's crowd sourced. But in the end, I disagree with the crowd sourcing most of the time, so regardless of if it's a single person, crowd sourced, AI, or anything else... it doesn't cut things where I want it to in a lot of cases.

And I'm pretty sure that the type of person who would spend time submitting the timestamps is probably a person who also is aggressively anti-ads/sponsorships, so is probably aggressive in their timestamps, which is fine, but it makes me gravitate towards agreeing with NewPipe on "not everything is pure evil" more than the sponsorblock submitters.
