That could get into clock sync issues though that would have to be carefully thought through. What happens if a user’s system clock updates during an ad roll? What about a user watching an ad on a train that passes through a time zone boundary?
I’d like to see some combination of ad nauseum (play ad in an invisible/silent background to support the content creators) and auto-mirroring to bittorrent (to let the real video play while google thinks the ad is playing, and also, for anti-censorship).
Oh, haven't heard of this technique before. Very cool!
