### Problem Description

Currently, Sponsorblock in FreeTube will block all enabled segments regardless of length, this can lead to some frustration during videos containing multiple very tiny sponsor segments such as this video for example (https://youtu.be/BWHxXFNtIU0). At 6:40 there is a two second section of sponsor that is blocked that causes missing context relevant to the video.

### Proposed Solution

A minimum segment length setting, either user-specified or with presets such as 3, 5, or 10 seconds where if a segment is shorter than this length, regardless if Sponsorblock is set to skip the segment type or not, it will not be skipped.
