Youtube is presumably collecting stats on video playback coverage because that have that little histogram on the play bar that tells you what times other users focused on. I guess they could turn that into a sponsor engagement metric if they really wanted to Do sponsor deals actually flow through Youtube so they can take a cut? I know they have that "this video contains paid promotion" overlay, but for all I know that could just be a checkbox you have to click when uploading

In video sponsers are almost certainly basically all based on clickthroughs/using whatever code they tell you to use in the video/etc. If you weren't ever going to click through in the first place you probably aren't taming any money away from the creator

In America we hold the consumer responsible if number doesn't go up. Noble capitalist companies can't fail, they can only be failed. Unless they're woke, obviously.

Most people get affiliate sponsorships which are paid per person using the code or whatever, but big name youtubers also get payouts just for shilling, no need to generate clicks. Also of course there's the product sponsorship where you get free poo poo in exchange for reviewing/promoting said poo poo.

Name Change posted:You can get stuff that will skip over ads in YouTube, like SponsorBlock. The problem is that right now if it's doing any damage, it's to the creators, not YouTube. FWIR ad revenue for creators is literally pennies unless you're in the 7-8 figure view count consistently. They make more from sponsored ad reads (which, for most small to mid sized channels is like $300-700 a throw, depending on the advertiser). If you really want to support them, the best way is either through patron or if they have a proprietary streaming service (nebula, dropout, ect) to sign up there. Re: ad blocking - If you're more tech saavy, you can set up a pi-hole. It acts as a proxy on the network level, so you don't have to run an addon that YouTube can identify and it works for cell phones and things too. https://pi-hole.net/

That reminds me, do you know how revenue on Nebula works? I've had it and Curiousitystream for years because it's dirt cheap and it's supposed to support stuff, but then I usually forget to check it because I'm on YouTube with an adblocker anyway. Usually when I use Nebula it's because a YouTube video reminded me and it's almost the exact same video and I don't know if there's an actual difference in terms of support between having it and using it?

With a quick search I found this answer: https://nebula.tv/faq#:~:text=How%20do%20the%20creators%20get,out%20based%20on%20watch%20time. How do the creators get paid? Nebula profit is divided 50/50 between the creators and Standard. The creator pool is paid out based on watch time. So, if you DO have nebula and want to support someone, stream their stuff constantly? I wonder what the actual payout per... lets say Hour of watch time is?

Yeah, $1 is not enough to actually make money off but the act of getting a credit card and entering it is probably a significant barrier for new users that the only possible reason is to get any credit cards.

Very few people ever tweeted, honestly. Twitter always had an outsized footprint because it was a central location for official communication and news, and a place for celebrities to get dunked on.

It's a feature not a bug. Now you have to pay $1 to view tweets. If Elon can sign up every non Twitter user in the world, he'll save himself.

If you aren't logged in on twitter, two major things are broken: -you cannot view threads, just one post at a time -you cannot view all of an accounts tweets.

You can just replace the "twitter.com" part of the url with nitter.net or nitter.nl or whatever to view them all as if you were logged in it rules plus it doesn't give any tracking/algorithm info to Twitter. There's browser extensions that automatically do this to any twitter link you click on. So you can have the best of just one world by not having an account but have the worst of another world by still being able to view everything on Twitter.
