What will happen when ads are injected in the video stream directly.

At that point i will either have to use an ai tool to scrub the filth out

Or

Consider if i really need whatever content is within it and touch some grass instead.

The same thing that happened with sponsored segments.

Look forward to the day they require eye tracking & answering questions about the ads they showed

Then those prompts will be skipped. Just like you can skip age verification with user scripts

Sponsored segments are fixed. Injected ads won't be.

With yt-dlp? Skip them manually.

Like, my main issue with ads is all the tracking they do. If they add non-targeted ads to the video file I downloaded, whatever, I'll just fast forward through that part of the video.
