The NewPipe project recently had a few debates on advertising, its ethics and how Team NewPipe decides whether or not a certain form of advertising is acceptable. In this article, we present our position on advertising in general, show the difference between ethical and unethical advertising, and explain why we do not intend to support technologies like SponsorBlock.
BTW, I just mentioned it as the fork the provided blog URL talks about. I’m concerned with the direction it might take, since several ex Vanced users are pushing for getting to login to youtube, as Vanced did:
https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/discussions/164#discussioncomment-2577669
And it seems their requests will be heard at some point:

So, not sponsoring polymorphic newpipe. If only it remained as newpipe with sponsorblock…
I felt I needed to provide additional information about polymorphic newpipe, :)
We could always fork a specific commit of the NewPipe SponsorBlock project.
A fork to the fork, which sync with the original repo, :) You’re right of course, just wanted to have some fun about it, :)
