The escalation is almost to a head. Very soon, they’re going to start encrypting and changing it up often. We’ve seen tests of this knocking people out here and there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually do something that changes often enough to make the blockers unreasonable. We’ll end up going back to commercial detection and comskip.
Sponsorblock is awesome, and it will continue to work well if they keep the commercials in the same spot in every video. If they go through the rest of the full DRM, I can’t imagine they’d leave that alone.
Youtube put in an ad-blocker-blocker so UBlock Origin made an ad-blocker-blocker-blocker.

Sponsorblock does this, kinda. It’s crowdsourced.
