Huh, Sponsorblock is basically muting TV ads like in the old days.

Why should I be forced to watch a sponsor almost always totally unrelated to the content I seek to watch, and that the YouTuber decided to upload?

Because the creator gets paid by them to provide you with a free product. If that fails to be the case you get nothing.
