I will tell my computer to automatically skip video that was originally marked as unskippable.
If things really escalate, I will tell my computer to blank the screen and mute the audio when an ad is playing. I will do this with a keybinding, or maybe with an AI. This will be undetectable to the server.
Not sure this is the best topic to ask this.
This is not a domain I am knowledgeable about but : if Youtube detects (somehow) when an ad is blocked , why don't adblockers become "adfastworwarders" ?
I am using a bookmarklet to play Youtube videos faster & I noticed the videos are also played at the same speed. Couldn't "adfastworwarders" detect the start of an ad & like play it at x10 or x20? It would still create a tiny "cut" in the watching experience but perhaps a way to skip ads ?
Any reason this cannot be a path for adblockers?
Indeed, but you'll still have to wait for the ad to play. YouTube can definitively win this race if they decide so.
Host this all in a system similar to plex and it would be quite transparent.
