    Ironically, watching this video on Osysee results in me consuming more ads that help LTT than usual, because I don’t have SponsorBlock set up for that.

      SponsorBlock does not change anything about the money they get from sponsorships. So no, that does not help them more than otherwise.

        YouTube creators can see the view rate for each section of the video, I’d be surprised if sponsors didn’t ask for that data (if just to know the viewer retention for sponsor segments at the beginning vs end of the video)

          They talked about it in the WAN show and they do not share that data as of a few months ago.

            They way I uderstand your comment, LTT is big enought so as to negotiate contracts with sponsor without being forced to share the metric related to the performance of the sponsored segment.

            I doubt that’s true for many creators.

      Why did you not set it up? I think they added it recently and when I found out I instantly enabled it. It also works for Invidious.

        Because I’ve literally never watched an Odysee video on Firefox on my phone before that, so I never felt the need.
