YouTube knows exactly where you start and stop the video, what segments you skip, etc., etc. and the channel has access to those analytics. Not saying that anyone shares that with the sponsors, but the mechanism IS in place.

> Not saying that anyone shares that with the sponsors, That's my point. The sponsors of individual youtubers don't have access to that information

They don't require it as they already have metrics and data, by the unique promo code from each ad read. That tells them viewers of X will go to the website and buy something. But I have never done that, because I don't buy something because one person I like to watch was paid to talk about it.
