    if the platform decides which and where the ads will run during the video on page load, not during video pIay then I dont see how this could be blocked.

    Anither thing they can do is enforce policy and start deleting/banning accounts blocking ads. I have some stuff on google account. Wouldn’t be fun to have it deleted.

      Look at point 3. I explained this could still be skipped due to them having to visually indicate that it was an ad. This visual indication could easily be skipped by the local user.

      As for them deleting accounts that blocked ads, how would they identify if someone blocked ads? Generate a secret key for every ad, that would be returned every time a user watched ads? This could easily be overcome, as an adblocker could simply extract this key and send it back to the server.

      Trust me… If there was a way to block ad blockers, the greedy capitalists would’ve done so a loooong time ago.
