I got mixed filling about this. Ads are annoying, but sponsor segment are one of the least-bad ads because they don't require tracking nor individual targeting. These segment target the audience as a whole without knowing anything about individual viewers.
Also more and more podcast offer ad-free feeds to paid subscribers.
This is also where I personally draw the line. I run adblock but I won't run sponsorblock.
