SponsorBlock helps with them.

I do not use it because I do want to support the people I watch. I just skip manually if it is of no interest.

  • I have YT Premium that pays much more than sponsors. That's also why I just use Firefox instead of third party apps to watch YT.

    • essentially every YouTuber I've watched who discussed their financials said that their sponsorships brought in several times more money than all forms of YouTube money.

      which is a very niche slice, and I have no idea how representative it is in aggregate. but sponsorships happen because they pay well enough to annoy every viewer, not just ones that aren't using the better-paying Premium - they generally are not cheap, to say the least.
