If I watch a YouTube video in a playlist, it doesn't count as a view. I want to know if watching ads on playlist videos gets the creator any money. Does watching the full ad get them more money than skipping the ad?

I finally found a solution. It works in Google Chrome only and it requires two extensions.
Install the extensions Remove Scrollbars YouTube Options
Set Youtube Options to the fellowing settings:
Play a playlist in YouTube and go to the browser fullscreen mode by hitting the keyboard F11 button. This is important!
The transition of the video's are not fluently, but it stays fullscreen.
You cannot do this from the video player itself, but if you're watching the videos on a Youtube.com page you can add them to an existing playlist or new playlist using the "Add To" button under the video. You'll also have to be logged in to make this button work.
Best Answer
It does, the view counter just doesn't update immediately.
The video's creator gets all the money, not the playlist creator.
Creators get only money if you either click on the ad or watch it at least 30s, or fully if the ad is shorter. If you skip it, they don't get anything.
That said: Don't click on ads all the time just to support the creator. This is considered invalid click activity by AdSense and not counted at all; the creator may even get punished for it.
