this isn't working since YouTube inserts the ads at random at random location in videos. so each user gets ads on different videos and locations in the video.
sponsorblock works specially because the locations in the video stay the same. But with this random inserts by youtube this also can break sponsorblock since now the locations of sponsorblock segments change too if ads are inserted.
