Why not just use the original sponsorskip at that point?


Im not against sponsorskip.

I'm just pointing out that this should be the job of the premium team at YouTube, not left to subscribers.

so:

- Sponsorskip is a good solution to a problem that shouldn't exist

- If YouTube cared they could make this an even better experience and make sure both honest producers, paying customers and sponsors got a better deal. Today the revenue maximizing play seems to be to add sponsors on top of premium and hope advertisers doesn't realize they are being skipped.
