I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as “introduction” “non-music” or “sponsor” and it automatically skip those sections for other users who arrive at that video. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.
Truth is, they get paid whether you watch the sponsored segment or not. Unlike pre-, mid- and post-roll ads which do not pay creators if they’re blocked (doesn’t stop me from blocking ads, but I support where I can, such as via merch purchases, using sponsor codes or watching exclusively on Nebula for creators who are on Nebula)

I actually cannot stand watching YouTube without sponsorblock now…
I would’ve read your comment l, but I’m using sponsorblock and it automatically blocked your comment.
No, how about you let creators make the little money that they can. Oh wait, you support piracy, that’s right.

Didn’t know that. But it’s still honorable to support them.
Creators get their sponsor money when the video goes up. Skipping that part doesn’t hurt them at all
