  That takes actual money away from the actual creators though (instead of just the exec’s fat bank accounts), so use with some consideration. Don’t drain money from youtubers you enjoy.

    No it doesn’t; the creators have already been paid for their sponsorship. Sponsorblock just skips it the same as you would.

      Actually that’s not quite how it works from my understanding. Youtube is able to provide detailed metrics that can provide information like “how many people actually watched the sponsor segment?” and base the payouts on that. The payout will either be based on estimated views in advance (meaning if it’s lower than expected they’ll pay less next time) or they’ll pay after the video has been live for some period of time.

  Oh yeah duh. I just sometimes disable it because it can be wonky and skip important pieces with how tagging works.
