The problem is eventually this or something like this will probably catch on, and then sponsors will pressure YouTube into creating a system to provide metrics on who watches certain parts of videos. It doesn't sound that hard to do on a technical level, and I believe this is already available to creators in some way. Way less work than automagically detecting copyrighted audio and video, which they already do with Content ID.
- ajayyy 7y agoThis already exists. You can see realtime (per second of the video) engagement statistics. It shows drops in sponsored sections normally and it pickup back up right after.
- meowface 7y agoRight, but can sponsors themselves access this data via an API or something, currently? Asking the creator to email engagement metrics screenshots every week isn't too practical.
