    The advertiser can’t see that, though. The creator doesn’t need to care.

      Can the creator choose to go with the intrusive cut away ads I hate instead of like a manscaped sponsorship? Like, do they have that ability and would that be something they’d do?

      I also have regular adblockers so it’s possible some have both I suppose and I just don’t know because I block 'em.

        They get paid better for in-video sponsors, because they’re cutting a deal directly with manscaped or whatever other scam product. The embedded cutaways give Google a cut and are based on number of views, the sponsor usually pays the youtuber a flat fee to shill in x videos based on that youtuber’s average viewership. Sponsorblock is a real “everyone wins” situation - you watch your video with no ads, the youtuber gets paid by the advertiser, the advertiser still gets their money’s worth because sponsorblock is a tiny slice of the audience.
