I imagine they will eventually simply splice ads into the videos themselves. But even for that there is already a solution with sponsorblock.
Sponsorblock is the reason I'm confident that no matter what they try people can and will find ways to overcome it.
Out of all things I enjoy sponsorblock the most. Such a great QOL improvement, amazed I lived without it for so long
Shit if I have to I'll download every single YT video I wanna watch with yt-dlp and watch em in VLC/MPC/Plex/any other video player in the world lol. My eyeballs see advertisements when I choose for them too.
I suspect that all of the AI these companies think will solve all their problems (and add profits), will actually be a tool for us to use to skip and block ads.
Someone will learn how to use AI against them.

SponsorBlock is such a godsend for (live) music videos as well, especially with Eurovision VODs will all those intros and endscreens
