Personally I do pay for YouTube Premium, so videos I watch do make money (and do not have ads for me). As for in-video sponsor segments, I doubt the actual sponsors get any analytics about when they're skipped or not.
- DeusExMachina 6y agoThey surely get analytics on how well a sponsorship works since they use dedicated URLs. And if a sponsorship does not produce a return on the investment, the sponsor will stop giving money to the content creator.
- throwaway3699 6y agoI would also guess there's some watch time data access through the YouTube API, too. Plus tracked links in those cards at the corner of a video.
- ThatPlayer 6y agoYouTube does show the creator/uploader engagement throughout the video, so you can tell if there are less viewers for sponsor segments. My point is that info isn't necessarily shared through to the advertiser
- throwaway3699 6y agoWhat I mean is, it's entirely possible for sponsors to ask for channel data.
- Mindwipe 6y ago> As for in-video sponsor segments, I doubt the actual sponsors get any analytics about when they're skipped or not. LOLLLLL
- spockz 6y agoDoes YouTube share a part of your premium/fee to the creators based on what you watched? That is actually pretty neat.
- creato 6y agoThat is my assumption and it would be shocking if that were not the case. This is the case for ad revenue. Youtube premium replaces ad revenue with a fee. The interesting question I'd like to know the answer to is if creators get more money per ad impression or per premium subscriber view.
- ajayyy 6y agoCreators are paid "a majority" of revenue from YouTube premium based on watch time.
- srg0 6y agoDo demonetized channels get their share? A couple of channels I watch swear a lot, and are demonetized. It's a bliss to watch YouTube without ad interruptions. I don't mind product placement by the content creators. I would be happy to pay if I knew they are paid too.
- heavyset_go 6y ago> (and do not have ads for me) The sponsor segments are ads. You're getting doubled-dipped.
- ThatPlayer 6y agoAnd that's why I've been using this sponsor block plugin.
- XCSme 6y agoI thought about using that plugin, but I'll be missing out on the creative sponsored ads done by some YouTubers like Daniel Thrasher (plus his sponsored section is at the end so I can always skip them anyway).
