Is there a reason they don’t just add the ads directly into the video?

  It will be much more difficult to show personalized ads this way

  They cannot stop you from skipping those ads either. You just need to buffer and skip ahead. They would need to develop a very complicated solution that would not solve the problem of people not watching the ads. Actually this would make it even easier to skip the ads.

    Remember when TiVo/Dish/DirecTV tried putting ads in DVRs that only appeared while fast forwarding recorded content?

  Probably because they’re already pack with ads from the creators.
