You can easily skip over and not click on an article, not so with fluff content in a video.

There's a reason people are using add-ons that let you skip that kind of garbage in Youtube videos.

But he doesn't have a sponsor segment? I enjoy his long explanations with lots of side commentary.

You can find the long form narrative boring. That's ok. There is no right way to tell a story.

And that's comendable, but SponsorBlock says it also can skip over annoying parts (such as irrelevant talk about local weather and video pans of trees) and not just sponsorship plugs.
