Wait until they require a quiz be taken to prove you watched the video. They could also stitch together the video with the ads, so it's all a single video. They can make fast-forwarding videos impossible (to stop the sponsorblock stuff). Begun the Ad Wars have.

Didn't YouTube literally do this with the question ads a few years ago? That's when I decided I would NEVER be nice to advertisers. They're selling my time for money, not giving me the money, and now they're rude about it. 110% fuuuuuuck them.

I usually eithe rjust let the timer run out on those or submit bad data

Same, but the mere demand for attention was enough. Now, if I see an ad, I'll make a script sit there and spend five minutes force-loading their pages to eat their bandwidth right back. They will lose money for every ad I see. Fuck them all.

Just so you know, they already lost money when you clicked on the ad.

I want them to lose a tangible amount. Showing me one ad will cost them the same as showing others hundreds of thousands.
