Do they get paid when I skip the video in Firefox that Google inserts?

What I do the instant a video pops up is I kill the sound with a click.
And I wait for the required five seconds or so and then click "skip."
Then in Firefox, I click the sound button back on to watch the video.

Of course I want the YouTube creator to make his money.
But there's no way I'm ever going to listen to or watch an ad in Firefox.

Only recently, I heard they don't get paid unless you watch the video.
The video, of course, is much longer than the point at which you can skip.

So I don't know if Google knows I tapped the "sound" button but they know I
hit the "skip" button well before the video was scheduled to have finished.

Does the YouTube content creator still get paid when I do that in Firefox?
Is there a better way to not see Google-inserted advertisements in Firefox?
Is there another free Windows program that doesn't show ads than Firefox?

If you subscribe to YouTube Premium, you don't get ads, they get paid
anyway, if they have "baked-in" sponsor segments, I just skip those.

The creators you like won't get paid, but if you use uBlock Origin,
Google's inserted ads do not play at all. You can also use SponsorBlock
to automatically skip the ads that the creator inserted.

If you feel guilty about this, check if the creators you like have a
Patreon or other means of tipping them, and pay them yourself. Or watch
the ads.

Would it really kill you to quote enough of the precursor article so
that your remarks in followup are in context? Usenet has been around for
44 years now. How do users still not get how to post a conventional
followup?

You can also get rid of YT all ads with the following addon:

All the context you needed was in the subject line. Get over it, gramps.
