Yeah, you're probably right. Randomly distributing it would also reduce the effectiveness of things like SponsorBlock.

Yup, it would be so easy to do it in a way that is difficult for ad blockers to remove and doesn't annoy the fuck out of the users, but it would allow users to manually skip them so they're not going to do it.
