diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 1 hour agoWhy would you need to re encode when you can literally pause one stream swap in the ad and then swap back in the paused one in the same response

Exactly. Instead of editing within the video stream you just switch to a second stream.
However from youtubes perspective that has the downside that the switching logic is where adblockers can hook in to block the ads.
