## 4) How exactly is “non-music” supposed to co-exist with other categories?
If the interval without music is eligible for any other category, choose it instead. However, if a category other than “non-music” could be used, but wouldn’t cover the part without the music entirely, use “non-music.”
In the end the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible.

## 5) What are some more advanced tips to submitting?
## 5) What are some more advanced tips for submitting?
These are some steps to take if you’re willing to spend a little bit more time to ensure perfect submissions:
* First of all, activate all categories. This ensures that you don't accidentally submit a segment that already exists in an other category
* When there’s a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Use the "," and "." keys and count frames. Pay attention if the video is 30 or 60 fps. If possible, make your segments start two frames early on 30 fps videos and four frames early on 60 fps videos, so there isn't an annoying bump
* Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should *slightly* overlap. The reason for this is that every segment should be correct and seamless on it’s own and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled.
* If you submit a long intermission segment on a live streamed video, take a look at it after some time. Very often large chunks of such video are removed afterwards with YouTube trimming tool, which messes up the submissions and makes it necessary to delete them.
* When adjusting a non-music segment in the editing box, changing the playback speed to 0.25 allows for a much greater precision, letting you place your segment as close to the music as possible without accidentally cutting any of it.
* If the video has subtitles, even auto generated, you can open the transcript and search for keywords. If the creator introduces a sponsor at the beginning of a long video, you could for example search their name to check if they're briefly mentioned later.

If a segment's vote score equals 10 000 (or is very close to it), it means the person who submitted it is a SponsorBlock moderator, also called a VIP. This way their submissions are always prioritized.
## 10) Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?
Yes. Aside from the web browser extension, there are various third party ports, including mobile. See the list [here](https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports).

* In Vanced click on your usericon, settings, sponsorblock settings, there go to "your unique userID"

Yes. If you wish to have skip segments for your personal use, not caring about the rules, just select the timestamps and close the editing box. Make sure not to click "submit". They will be stored locally in your browser and skipped automatically. You can also export them with your options.
## 13) How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?
The problem with such category is that it would be highly subjective. Sure, it would come in handy on tutorial videos, but once it's there, people will use it everywhere.

## 14) Is there any AI involved?
[NeuralBlock](https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock) is a neural network that detects in-video YouTube sponsorships, though current implementation within SponsorBlock is limited to a moderation tool which detects incorrect sponsor segments on English videos. Every SponsorBlock segment you see on YouTube has been made by a human (as far as we know).
