Honestly, it won't be long before you can't use a blocker for those ads anyway. Most services now inject the ads right into the data stream for the video you're watching dynamically. To try and block those ads is to try and block the same video of the content you want to watch.

The day that happens is the day I go back to the same full-scale, all-media piracy I was pulling in my teens. Pretty sure the old schooner's still seaworthy.

If that happens and it's truly impossible to work around it will finally be the day I get off my ass and read Das Kapital in its entirity.

I don't think this will be as big an issue as people fear. Sponsorblock already is a crowd-sourced method of blocking the same video of the content you want to watch, and it works borderline perfectly. Just do the same but by still or video-clip instead of timestamp, job done.
