    No, how about you let creators make the little money that they can. Oh wait, you support piracy, that’s right.

      Creators get their sponsor money when the video goes up. Skipping that part doesn’t hurt them at all

        Not quite true.

        They’re paid ALSO based on how long people watch (which skipping decreases) and their sponsors offer deals based on their conversion metrics, which can’t happen if people don’t watch.

        I pay for YouTube premium and all the sponsor shit does annoy me too. As much as I like Legal Eagle, him having 2 ads and a sponsor IN each videos on top of the ads I don’t see with Premium really makes me want to use sponsor block, but I mostly listen to stuff on my phone.

      They wouldn’t make money from me either way because I never buy stuff based on video sponsorships.

      Truth is, they get paid whether you watch the sponsored segment or not. Unlike pre-, mid- and post-roll ads which do not pay creators if they’re blocked (doesn’t stop me from blocking ads, but I support where I can, such as via merch purchases, using sponsor codes or watching exclusively on Nebula for creators who are on Nebula)

        Didn’t know that. But it’s still honorable to support them.
