IIRC, Twitch uses similar ad injection. Ad blockers get around it by opening new video streams until they find one that isn't running an ad. Could be wrong though, I'm parroting an uncited comment.

Even then, the only fool proof way of getting around server side ads is using an adblocking proxy that pipes the video stream into a different country. And public proxies available are not foolproof because of excessive traffic or whatnot.

And specifically this is for TTV.LOL revolving around Twitch.

I think the same applies to YouTube in the same countries Twitch can't play ads in. But I haven't seen anything about YouTube adblocking proxies like TTV.LOL.

Why is it that they can’t play ads in certain countries?

Theres basically a bunch of countries that forbid Twitch or YouTube from playing ads. Like at all.
