What will happen when ads are injected in the video stream directly.
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.
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.
Sponsored segments are fixed. Injected ads won't be.
Look forward to the day they require eye tracking & answering questions about the ads they showed
Please drink a verification can.
Then those prompts will be skipped. Just like you can skip age verification with user scripts
