I still don't understand how ad blocking in videos can work. I mean all it would take to force users to watch the ads is to ensure that after the ad starts streaming, you can't request any frame of the actual content until N seconds (The full ad length) later?

I'd still rather stare at a blank screen for 20s than view the ads.
Sure, but that doesn't sound like something people would install an ad blocker to achieve...
