YouTube's new anti-adblock measures
It would break all the time stamps as well, unless you had fixed length ads. Sponsorblock already skips ads embedded in videos, so I don't think this would make ads much harder to block.

True, it would be sorta impossible to make timestamps work without sending the length of the ad section, so you could easily skip it programmatically.
