Google already doesn't pay out creators for views with blocked ads, no advertiser is going to pay for ads that were never shown. The view counter doesn't matter to that. Perhaps Youtube could enforce tougher blocking of ad blockers to support creators better.


A view counter from premium member (user without ads) should count.


It matters if you include a sponsorship in your video and get paid based on view numbers.


If this makes in-video ads unprofitable then I hope Youtube never fixes it. And it sounds like EasyList made the right choice in including the filter.
