Legally, YouTube has to tell you you're watching an ad. This means that at least visually somewhere (it could be baked into the video stream, for example), there should be a distinctive pattern that extensions should be able to grab and make the video fast-forward.
If youtube manages to stop fast forwarding, maybe at the very least we could auto-mute, and maybe overlay photos of puppies or something
Bad idea. People would get a negative Pavlovian reaction to puppies after a while.
Imagine walking down the street, seeing a puppy and immediately getting annoyed! That's no way to live, man! 😄
