- elithrar 5y agoRight, using DAI means you don’t have to actually touch the original video (good!) but doesn’t stop a smart enough client (youtube-dl) from pattern matching and ignoring those segments when stitching the final video together. I am not, however, suggesting that encoding ads into the final stream is appropriate or scalable, though!
- kevincox 5y agoThe client doesn't even have to know that there is an ad playing if they really want to thwart ad blockers. If you are talking about pattern-matching the actual video stream ad-blockers could do that today and just seek forwards but none do yet.
