Sponsorblock API blocked (sponsor.ajay.app) #425

Closed 0evers closed 1 year ago

0evers commented 1 year ago

This well-known YouTube extension blocks in-video sponsor segments, so it is not a good idea to block the domain of the API. The name is misleading, it doesn’t serve ads. Domain: sponsor.ajay.app

https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe.

The extension has about 13 million users, it's a big problem that its API is blocked now.

It was also blocked in #381 before a few months ago, unsure why it seems to have been blocked yet again...

@0evers fixed. Update will be released today.
