It's absolutely shameful doing what some people are doing. You know those built-in YouTube sponsorships you can't skip? Like the sponsored segments that MrBeast puts in the middle of his videos? Personally, I love them. I don't know about you, but unfortunately, there's an extension that allows people to make them disappear automatically. Yes, automatically. And the worst part? Some people install it on purpose. It's called SponsorBlock. It automatically detects sponsored segments in YouTube videos and skips them, even asking for your opinion. So of course, I feel obligated to call out this behavior because it clearly doesn't respect YouTube's terms of service. And honestly, it disgusts me.
