      They can win by making videos only accessible via account and aggressively banning adblock users. It will hurt it at first but people would rather accept it instead of finding a replacement. I expect this to happen in a few years.

          Ads can be randomly placed so there is no specific timestamp to skip.

          This would obviously be very costly for Google, which is likely why they haven’t done it yet, but ultimately an ad blocker wouldn’t be able to block those.

            Don’t give them any ideas, a’right? But yeah. That’s true. We could skip those identifying per frame/time, but adblocking would need more resources.

      Well, if googles web integrity api becomes reality, every site that makes money from ads will refuse to serve any modified client.

        Twitch has the unique use case of live streaming, which makes the content’s timeliness a factor in the users experience.

        How did twitch win? Would you not say that YouTube has a larger user base, and therefore a larger target of this sort of cracking?
