Sponsored sections are basically ads injected in the main stream. The SponsorBlock extension can already get around those, so that’s already a good proof that it’s technically possible.
SponsorBlock works with user-generated data: anyone using the extension can mark sections of a video as sponsored segments, and once several users have reported the same then the extension will automatically skip that part of the video for other users.
If they inject it into the main stream itself is it possible to block it? I don’t really see how.
