A reminder that if this doesn't work, they'll bake ads into the player like Hulu and Twitch. Can't block those, at least in a way that gets you back to the content seemlessly.

then we'll just do a sponsorblock type solution which skips over the ad

Only solutions I've seen stop the ad from appearing but not the 2 minute break it forces on you.

That's for ads baked into the video, not the players.

You can still cheese by both of those methods without issue.

Literally they'll do it anyways, imput or not.
