    How would embedding help them if Sponsorblock already skips embedded sponsor ads from the creators? This seems like just an additional category for Sponsorblock.

      It would inject the ads directly into the video stream like how Twitch does it currently. It wouldn’t register as an advertisement for any blocking software to handle it without blocking the video you were trying to watch.

      Sponsor Block works because users flag the section of video that the creators edit into their own videos so it can be autoskipped by others with the addon installed.
