Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos?

As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don't want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the "but first check out this shitty mobile game".

If you are on Android, you really should download ReVanced. You can add adblock and sponsorblock, and you will barely ever see ads again.
I actually refused to watch YT on mobile because it was too annoying an experience, but 'vanced makes it much more like the good old days of no ads everywhere.
Vanced is advanced with 'ad' removed btw.
Does it support chromecasting? That is the only think keeping to the official yt app on mobile.
Otherwise I am using FF with an adblocker.
I found it a bit tedious having to build a new version whenever it broke. It's a bit less convenient but now I just click stare then Newpipe sponsorblock.
