    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.

      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.

      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)
