Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

To my knowledge, sponsors do not give money to Google, just to the creator. So SponsorBlock isn’t needed.
But I have to admit that some sponsored segments can be obnoxious as hell, so I can understand why one would use it.

When I’m using sponsorblock, I sometimes just stop watching if I see a long sponsor section, regardless. If the poster has like 20% of their video used to talk about shilling something, then they’re probably not someone I trust.

Ah, yes, you’re right. If the focus is just on not giving money to Google then SponsorBlock is unnecessary.

However, I also find most sponsored segments obnoxious as hell so SponsorBlock still helps with making the YouTube experience better in general
