I mean, it doesn't let you skip until 5 seconds in. By that point, you're already aware of the product. It's not like you've robbed them a chance to advertise. You want Mt. Dew and Dawn dish soap or you don't.

I know companies like to believe that a 30 second commercial can make you want something you didn't previously want, but that's not really how people function. The mere mention of Taco Bell is going to make you think, "Hmm... That sounds good right about now," or it isn't. Staying for the end of the commercial isn't going to make you any hungrier or any more likely to eat Taco Bell specifically.

Nope. I block all normal ads and use SponsorBlock to block the ads that YouTubers put in the video itself.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Users select when the ad starts and stops and submit it. If someone has submitted timestamps for where ads are in a video, it automatically fast forwards past the ad.

SponsorBlock is the 2nd best thing ever after adblocks.

It's not morally wrong to skip ads. It's morally just to skip them.

But even if that were not true, I would still unrepentantly skip them anyway.

Absolutely Fucking Not.

I fully support adblock, but adblock is far closer to grey than me wanting to skip a 5 minute add for a 2 minutes video.

How do the in video sponsor ads work even? Do the people watching the video have to play that section of the vid for the creator to get paid, or is it just like based on hard views?

Ads within the video? like an add 1 minute in?

Thats something the creators themselves chose

They can make their own adbreaks, as many as they want.

Ahh... yeah good question.

Based on what ive heard regarding "RAID SHADOW LEGENDS" i do believe its a lump payment for it just BEING there.

IE: Get the sponsor request, put it in video, sponsor greenlights video, video is uploaded and host gets a good amount of cash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLOAsWrE1uw

Basically, afaik sponsorships are make (and upload) the add, get the money as is.

As for fucking around, and taking the video down later or something, sponsorships are contract based so...

EDIT: Part 5 of this video series is where i got my "midroll adds" info from btw.
