    I unfortunately can't speak to this directly as I don't have direct knowledge of ad blockers.

    However, in these systems, it will always be a cat and mouse game. And there are more of us than them, so to speak. There always will be.

    So they embed the ads. Then someone does some clever coding to watch for ads and auto skip. YouTube finds a way around that, the community circumvents their fix. It always has and always will work that way. The technology works for all of us.

        Which is mostly crowd sourced correct? That was another example I'd considered.

          Yep, and it's a lot more successful than you'd think. I've been using it for over a year now and I literally have not come across a sponsored video yet that hasn't had its sponsored segments reported. Not even on videos that were uploaded literally 10 minutes ago. Highly recommend
