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”.

    Don’t worry about channel creators losing money. It may seem like a dick move, but it’s the right thing to do. When channels see that they aren’t making money on Youtube ad revenue, they’ll be forced to either find another source of income (merch, patreon, alternate site, etc), or quit.

    That’s better for you, them, and society as a whole since it reduces the power of a monopoly owned by an evil company.
