No, you just need to skip the ad. Sponsorblock has been working for years now, solving pretty much the same problem
nope, the ad time varies unlike a sponsor segment, and also youtube would not let you skip through an ad while streaming it, whereas sponsors you can, hence the download and edit out with LLM or whatever algorithm works best
It can be detected
yes, but if youtube only serves you the real video chunks after your client plays through the ad chunks (all in the same media stream to the client), theres gonna be some waiting involved, not like adblocking today where it is instant.
Sponsor Block relies on the ads being at the same timestamp for all users
