If I had any programming ability above the level of a sloth I’d make a blocker called “Muffler” that basically separated out all the adstreams and made them think they were viewed and played in real time, but invisible to the user.

Shouting into the void, and nothing to be done about it as they’d look like they were being played.

In a vice versa way, that's pi hole. The website makes ad requests to the DNS and pi hole says:

I use pihole. Pihole does not work for sites that serve ads from the same domain, like YouTube
