Sponsorblock is good enough on pretty much every channel I watch, including skipping intro/outros, might want to check that out.

But then you forget to smash that like and subscribe button with the bell to show your support on patreon.
I still get most of those. It's just the sponsored segments usually. The information is crowd sources and it has controls to let you define sponsored elements and submit them if it doesn't have info on your video.
SponsorBlock, despite its name, does not only skip sponsors. It also skips interaction remembers, fillers, intros, intermissions and outros.
I believe it only does sponsors by default, and some categories (like filler) are not shown at all by default. If you never went into the settings, you'd never know.
You can ask Blab (one of two maintainers of the SponsorBlock browser extension and database, the other being Ajay) why not all categories are enabled by default.

There is also a joke branch of the extension called SponsorLock, that isolates sponsors instead of skipping them: https://giveup.ajay.app
