As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don’t want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the “but first check out this shitty mobile game”.

    I’d 100% say that I’m less likely to skip an in-video sponsor segment if the creator has tried to make it a bit more entertaining than just an ad copy read with logos and stock footage of people walking on a beach.

    I’d say map men and boyinaband are two that jump out to me as having several I’ve not skipped, there’s obviously others.

    If advertisers aren’t already on to this, those are the spots they want to be paying for, and I’d hope that means the creators doing them are getting paid a lot for them
