      Genuine question, does that hurt the content creator? Does the sponsor know if people skipped watching that?

        I mean if intrusive ad revenue goes down imo it’s not a problem. In the case of an 80’s movie on YouTube posted by some dude I don’t think Rowdy Roddy Piper is gonna get any of your proceeds towards his cancer treatments anyhow (he’s dead).

      Windscribe (or other) VPN offers 2gb free per month, you can spoof your location with the browser extension. Hot tip, dial the YouTube video resolution way down to like 360p and you can watch quite a few movies with that amount of free bandwidth.
