I sometimes feel bad for bypassing all this, then I see the in video sponsors they all have. So now I run Sponsorblock...
tbf, their sponsors don't know they're being skipped.
And they don't pay for you skipping them, which is a win for advertisers, but a loss for Google.
I assume smeeg was talking about inline sponsors not associated with google who don't get metrics if what you saw/skipped
