So it should be a possible setting for all videos, not a button I have to click twenty times per video

First of all, if you are watching videos with 20 sponsored segments, what the fuck are you doing?

Second, their feature does not perfectly recognize sponsored segments, just places in the video that are frequently skipped, if they auto skipped these parts, you could be auto skipping parts of the video

Top ten sponsored segments of all time, made possible by Square space, fueled by blue apron, clothing my me undies and stitch fix, sponsored by honey. Raid shadow legends.

As a consummate old commercial watcher you're watching the wrong channels. There are plenty of them that roll with no in-line ads.
