    I find this take amusing. Blocking the ads means the content creator doesn’t get paid for those ads since they won’t get seen by those end users, but sponsor’s have already paid the creator for that part. Whether you watch it or not the money has already changed hands, all it does is automate you skipping those segments.

      While I agree in the short term, video analytics still come into play for future sponsorships and payouts. Do you think a sponsor will be willing to continue paying a creator if their sponsor segments receive no watch time?
