Use Sponsorblock and enable skipping of “tangents/jokes” (previously called “filler”). It’s off by default but I find it to be a great category to shorten video length without removing any important content.
And contribute segments where they aren’t already marked, so that others can be saved from these too.

When I enabled this niche aggressive category I wanted niche, aggressive segments. But on videos that I liked? This has gone too far. This category is censoring jokes, it is suppressing creative voices. I can’t believe there are people out there, making this segments on these works of art. It’s a comedy channel for God’s sake! I get that this category is for jokes but these jokes are FUNNY! These submitters should be banned, as they clearly don’t understand these guidelines. Oh they removed the jokes from LTT? That’s fine their jokes are lame. Hey fosstodon.org/@sponsorblock how do I bulk upvote

I just have it on “show in seekbar” and not auto or even manual skip. Mainly because I wanna see what people mean by filler content.

Yeah, that’s the reasonable thing to do. Most uses of tangents are things I do want to see, but it’s still helpful to enable the category in case something comes up in the video I don’t care about.
