I'm curious -- since monetization depends on ads, and youtubers also derive income from sponsored segments, doesn't a blocker deprive them of income? Or is the blocker undetected?

I mean, I pay for Youtube Premium, so they're getting paid for my views regardless.

The addon does the equivalent of scrub forward in the video, which... I don't think creators (and therefore the sponsors paying them) have any way of seeing that some segment of their video is being skipped. Everybody is happy!

I just don't need to see yet another outdated 2 minute segment for N*rdV*N or K*wi Co.
