I'm worried one day they will re-encode videos with advertisements themselves, or something similar to that. Although I guess SponsorBlock takes care of that, until they straight up just break/remove extensions with their crazy "Web Environment Integrity" proposal.

That would screw up those who actually pay for YouTube. But who knows.

Not if they serve a different video based on your account status. They always have ways of doing things lol

Yeah, I knew there was some way for them to make it work.
