  Let me guess, suicide by 17 gunshots to the back of his head? In his car in a hotel parking lot?

  Light a candle or smoke a cigarette for increased warmth.

  If their spying algorithm is as easy to fool as Instagram's, that wouldn't be a major concern if I still used that bad fediverse clone.

  Sponsorblock theoretically exists

  In its current form, it would only work if each video had the ads injected at the same timestamp and with the same duration everytime, which I find unlikely.

  It would have to implement some dynamic behavior. It is however in at least some countries required to visibly and clearly mark ads, so a check for that marking could possibly be implemented. But that's more of a thing I'd expect uBO to do instead of Sponsorblock.

  Going by recent internet history, every anti-adblock measure will have its according anti-anti-adblock measure within at most a few weeks by now. That's the beauty of community-driven open source projects.
