YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

    Timing and length of ads won’t be consistent between users so this approach doesn’t work.

      Depends how wide the range of ads is, if its a set amount/month then you could use the same method to pretty quickly identify which segments of data are ads and automatically cut them out wherever they occur.
