I have said this in another post here, as a joke, that YT can just inject the ads in the main video stream, and it would be just like cable tv where you can't skip the ad.

I swear it was a joke.

edit: spelling

Then I'll just start downloading videos and playing them back skipping ads.

All of the ai bullshit out there, there might actually be a good use for ai, is cutting out ads out of video.

Fuck YouTube and fuck Google.

Reminds me of my home's first TV recorder. It actually came with a trimming function and we could cut the ads out.
