Problem Description
'Tis not really a problem. I am not a user of SponsorBlock per se. Or rather, I do not auto-skip (I do have it show on the bar). However, the idea seems interesting that one could have SponsorBlock affect only channels one is not subscribed to. For channels one is subscribed to, there is already an interest in the creator and/or their content, but that's not always the case for channels one does not subscribe to. Being able to “get to the point” on a video one stumbled upon somehow, whether through their own search or a shared link somewhere, instead of sitting through intros, outros, breaks, sponsor segments, etc. Akin to skipping the life story before a recipe online (an experience I've only ever heard of, as I seek not recipes online)
Proposed Solution
The proposed “solution” (feature) would be an option within SponsorBlock settings to enable SponsorBlock only for videos from channels to which one is not subscribed (or, if you will, disable SponsorBlock on subscribed channels). The option would work as described, doing SponsorBlock as usual on general videos but ignoring it on channels you're subscribed to.
I am willing to help, if needed. I know JavaScript (and CSS, and could learn the other languages on the project, if needed). Not sure how easy it is to get contributing to this project (I lack experience contributing to FOSS, though I did work with GitHub professionally for a few months)
PS: I'm not sure whether this constitutes a “new feature” or an “improvement to existing feature”, seeing as SponsorBlock is already a feature, but what I'm describing is not (yet) an option. I'll set it to “improvement”, but I can change if needed
Alternatives Considered
Given this is not an issue onto itself, I reckon no alternative is needed. Though an alternative to such solution could be simply a user having segments set to show on bar and skip (or, as I sometimes do, speed up) specific segments one does not care to watch
Issue Labels
improvement to existing feature, new optional setting
Additional Information
No response
I'd like to be able to limit DeArrow titles and thumbnails to certain channels.
