Wasn’t sure which one to use, thanks

This breaks the current SB implementation, but if the ad duration is known and consistent across the userbase then it will fix itself as users tag videos with the “new” timestamps.

Yeah, but the article didn’t say anything about consistent durations and spacing. It might be the case, but I have no idea how to find that out.
cygnus@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
Consistent duration can be assumed, because that’s how advertising works. The 15-second spot is still the standard.

I mean it might be, or they could decide to deliver 30 second ads to people they think are more likely to watch and 15s to ones they don’t. I don’t know enough about this implementation, for all I know they offset it by a few seconds because of Sponsorblock. Seems like they’d do anything to try to push more ads so who really knows at this point?
