Speaking of SponsorBlock? Does it affect the YouTuber revenue stream. Sponsors are not YouTube and not the owner of the video. They probably don't know the audience of the sponsored segment. It may affect the number of clicks on affiliate links, but I guess SponsorBlock users don't click much anyways.

It affects watch time depending on how long the blocked sections last, which should affect money received by ads.
