people really overestimate how many people use ad blockers and sponsorblock....
30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it's overestimated.
I imagine the amount of people using sponsorblock specifically are much smaller.

You're right, but I think it's fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they're using an ad blocker too.
Of course, I was only saying few people used sponsor block compared to (any) general ad blocker.
So few... I'm going to just start offering to install ad blockers in everyone's phone
