YouTube Premium ads a button to skip sponsored segments.
It's worth noting that sponsorship segments are supplemental income. The more they're skipped, the less they're paid out in the future. Some creators rely on that when their partnership money on the platform can't cover expenses on its own.
It sucks, but those are not priced into the payment for the platform to remove their ads. So this devaluation of sponsored segments can be seen in an increasingly large number of content creators having member-only videos that require a Patron subscription.
I'm not defending them or saying you should or should not watch the ads (I don't). But just explaining the reality and that there's not currently a great alternative.
- spacedcowboy 1y agoWhere ? I'm nominally a premium member (at least it's on trial) but I've not seen that button. I'm about to ditch the trial but I might change my mind if the sponsorship stuff is automatically skippable.
- Tadpole9181 1y agoBottom right of the video about when the ad starts. I forget the name, something like "jump to content". For some videos that aren't marked by the creator, I think it's heuristics based, so more niche videos it doesn't always appear.
- spacedcowboy 1y agoI can’t say I’ve noticed that, even once you mentioned it, on any of the videos I’ve watched. Perhaps I’m too “niche” :(
