Just think about the amount of time the average human being could save in one year.

There is a shitload of unnecessary scenes that could be cut without losing anything of value.

    Probably too small of an audience but I’m amazed that someone hasn’t released a podcast app that has sponsorblock. Podcast ads are so predictable I’d imagine an ML model would have no issue detecting them.

      Or even if it was only reported manually via humans, it would still be worth it to give them the option, and on more popular podcasts it could help lots of people. In the meantime, I just listen to the YouTube video version of the podcasts, which usually have sponsorblock.
