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”.

    I’d rather be greedy than give my money to the likes of Google, Spotify, etc. I’m not hurting for cash either, I just like shit for free. But hey as long as we have goody two shoes like you us pirates can continue getting what we want for free so keep it up!

      I’m not paying to give money to Google, I’m paying for no ads on any devices (including my NVIDIA Shield) and more importantly half of the fee goes to the creators I watch.

      I’m perfectly happy stealing from billion dollar corporations.

      I’m not happy stealing from small businesses.
