How do I enable sponsorblock by default for ytdlp? (merv.news)

I want to be able to type yt-dlp [url] and have it automatically use --sponsorblock-remove CATS to remove sponsored section from the download file without having to type --sponsorblock-remove CATS everytime. Is this possible within yt-dlp?

enabling --write-subs, --write-thumbnail, by default for subtitles and thumbnails would also be convenient

Just alias it in your .bashrc

alias yt-dlps='yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove CATS --write-subs --write-thumbnail'

This will work, but is not as nice as the official way to do it via a config file, as described by another comment here.

It's better actually, because you don't need to mess with the config if you want to run it without the switch.
