Also I'm gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

No it doesn't, and never will. The mainteners of NewPipe have made their position on this clear.

Because they've done what most people won't and actually thought about it for a second and appreciated those types of sponsorships are the least harmful, least invasive, and easily skip able ads on the internet that directly support individual creators and not corporate entities, and its actually pretty shitty to make a whole app that actively targets the content creator's direct income (while the developer themselves accepts donations to boot).
But they let a fork of NewPipe exist that supports Sponsorblock, with their blessing. That's what you're thinking of.
My mistake then, the forked project is indeed what I'm talking about.
İ like to use sponsorblock on skip when pressed mode so i can decide to skip sponsor if i watched it before or if i am not intrested in product. I think this kindof usage wouldn't be harmfull to content creators.
