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 am paying $15 (or is it $18 already) for YouTube each month not to watch the adds. I am skipping those angrily on principle.

      YouTube premium, as far as I’m aware, still shares some of your monthly membership fee to the creators you watch to offset not seeing ads. I also am a premium member and feel no guilt at all about skipping sponsorship sections because of this.

      If you are on Android, you really should download ReVanced. You can add adblock and sponsorblock, and you will barely ever see ads again.

      I actually refused to watch YT on mobile because it was too annoying an experience, but 'vanced makes it much more like the good old days of no ads everywhere.

        Does it support chromecasting? That is the only think keeping to the official yt app on mobile.

        Otherwise I am using FF with an adblocker.

        I found it a bit tedious having to build a new version whenever it broke. It’s a bit less convenient but now I just click stare then Newpipe sponsorblock.

      Damn paying $15 for YouTube when ublock origin and sponsorblock are browser extensions, and YouTube Revanced does everything YouTube plus gives you entirely for free on android.

        Yep, but I have Samsung TV, and this is where I watch it.

          Get a cheap android streaming stick and then sideload Smarttube next. All of YouTube premiums features for free including sponsorblock, ad block, miniplayer outside of the app, etc
