MODERATORS
Yeah I know what it is, and how it works online, but when it's used with YouTube-dlp does it actually download the whole video and mark the skips, or does it skip downloading those parts entirely?
yt-dlp edits the video once its downloaded on your device. So when the sponsor mention comes up, it just cuts to the next piece of content that comes after the sponsor mention. It does download the entire video, but then it uses ffmpeg (I think) to edit the sponsor mentions out.
