    I’m not so sure. Once they are embedded in the video they become hard to block. Twitch is like this now.

      And yet there are userscripts you can use to block out twitch ads. I haven’t seen one for months now despite not being a subscriber.

      I’m holding out some hope, since twitch is live but YouTube is pre-buffered, but they could still block loading past the ad on a timer or a key computed from hashing the decoded frames of the ad, idk
