Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos? - eviltoast

As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don’t want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the “but first check out this shitty mobile game”.

    It seems like a lot of businesses have a turnkey affiliate/referral rewards program. Like how anyone can go set up Amazon affiliate links.

    But the creator presents it as a sponsorship. “Today’s video is sponsored by SquareSpace!”

    No it’s not, you’re just posting your affiliate link.
