Sometimes users get a bit excited over inserting skips and you'll get a video where honest-to-god one single word is marked to be skipped, or like, the intro is marked as self promotion - but! I still can't use YouTube without it.

I have skipped over 1 day's worth of useless content with that plugin so far. It's pretty impressive when you think about it lol. I have it set to auto-skip most things and you're right, sometimes it's a bit jarring seeing a cut (and then you remember it's the plugin doing it), but I really can't be bothered with intros, interaction reminders, etc. I'm watching your video already, I know which channel I'm on lol.
