Fair point! I wasn’t thinking they would be skippable, but boy do I hope that I was wrong…

They would just be able to create and stream 2 or more ad-encoded versions where ads are encoded in differently positions. Then no sponsorblock could save us since it would skip the wrong segments for some people…

Yeah but that’s because the content creator cannot dynamically change the time at which the sponsored part is. For ads, Google could dynamically insert ads at every 1/3rd of videos with a variation ± 1mn, and there’s nothing an extension like sponsorblock could do without triming on the original video’s content.
