The browser extension Sponsorblock does this. There are many apps that support it also, including Grayjay, yt-dlp, PipePipe (Newpipe fork), Morphe (modded version of official Youtube app), and SmartTube (Android TV).
Yeah, I use it all the time. It works great. For lesser known videos, the sponsored segments may not be in the database but you can create them yourself.
It'd be cool if one immediately fast forwards past when a youtuber talks about today's sponsor.

Those just block ads
No, Sponsorblock will skip past sponsored segments in videos.
How does it know
It's a user created database, people mark sponsored segments and other unwanted sections in videos.
I see people say sponsorblock doesn't work, do you actually try it?
