YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

    That sounds very much like the idea of SponsorBlock (but might need a bit of refinement to work for different ads of different length). You should definitely check out Piped for watching YouTube videos without any tracking/ads/dark patterns, I am very sure they will do something to remove server-side ads as well (hopefully).

    And if it is just five seconds instead of 15, it would be way better!
