Sponsorblock is not as blunt a tool as people make it here. You can only block specific type of ads and you can whitelist whole channels which I do for some niche channels I subscribe to. In Android, I use Tubular [1], the NewPipe fork that integrates Sponsorblock and ReturnYoutube Dislike. My only additional request in this awesome app is if we can download the video after snipping out the sponsor block sections.

yt-dlp has a sponsorblock integration that removes the segments from the downloaded file.

You can also mark segments in the downloaded files with that combination of tools, which is useful and non-destructive.
