Yes, they really dgaf about the creators.

Another example of that is their ridiculous strike system. Look at what happened to Gamersnexus recently.

How is this in a way related to that or not gaf about creators?

I pay €14/mo to not have ads on YouTube. It's good they have the skip feature for those sponsor segments, since they're just embedded ads.

Creators still benefit as my view has a higher $. Well... not anymore I suppose with the view attribution endpoint being blocked by my adblock.
