- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

I'm aware of that. It was just a turn of phrase.
The thing about your turn of phrase that seems odd to me is that you're focusing specifically on the videos you see soon after uploading/before other users have a chance to flag Sponsorblock, and not all sponsors equally. Your boycott shouldn't depend on whether you see the sponsor segment or not; it should depend on whether it's there at all to begin with.
Except for one thing: you can't know who to boycott if you never see their sponsored ad because it was blocked.
Hmm... I bet somebody could make a tool that references the Sponsorblock database to download all the sponsored segments, apply some AI to figure out who the sponsor is, and then insert it into another database of statistics about who is sponsoring Youtubers, on which channels, and how often.
Then folks like @ExtremeDullard@piefed.social could avoid them easily simply by checking that handy list.
