This is a non issue, on twitch if you sub to a streamer you don't see ads and they are embed in the stream for non paying users still, and it's pretty hard to block for free.

This is what I was responding to:

I feel like they’re eventually just going to embed the adverts directly into the video streams. No more automated blocking, even downloading will make you see ads.

That would be embedding the ads directly in the videos, which I do not think they will do.
