They could just block buffering this video until the time of the ad is finished on serverside, as they know how long the ad is.
You still can block ads but you must wait if you see a black window or an ad stream.

I would honestly be perfectly happy with a black screen for 30 seconds as a compromise to ads. I only leave the twitch webpage because the visuals bother me almost just as much as hearing the stupid sales pitch or the goofy "lol we're so cheeky and random" jokes made non-stop by insurance company ads.
