And for everything it works on: just use Firefox with ublock origin!
Add SponsorBlock for in-video sponsors while you're at it!
Oh yeah duh. I just sometimes disable it because it can be wonky and skip important pieces with how tagging works.
That takes actual money away from the actual creators though (instead of just the exec's fat bank accounts), so use with some consideration. Don't drain money from youtubers you enjoy.
No it doesn't; the creators have already been paid for their sponsorship. Sponsorblock just skips it the same as you would.
Actually that's not quite how it works from my understanding. Youtube is able to provide detailed metrics that can provide information like "how many people actually watched the sponsor segment?" and base the payouts on that. The payout will either be based on estimated views in advance (meaning if it's lower than expected they'll pay less next time) or they'll pay after the video has been live for some period of time.
Where are you getting this insight from exactly?
You...don't believe it works like that? Ultimately a sponsor isn't going to pay much if no one watches the spot. Advertising has always involved getting as much data as possible on how your ads are doing.
I don't have any one definitive link that will tell you "this is how it works", but I've picked up a few things from the various discussions I've seen some youtubers have.
Aren't creators getting paid before the video's uploaded?
Neither will they if the platform goes bust through shitty practices.
But in the short run, I'm not taking away anything from anyone.
