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)

Didn’t know that. But it’s still honorable to support them.

They wouldn’t make money from me either way because I never buy stuff based on video sponsorships.
