I am absolutely certain at some point they will give us a well encrypted multiple key change per minute mpeg stream At real time bit rates only. I think that’s their final form. It’s also possible they could just run the commercials on 2/3 of the screen while our streams are running.
Our final form will be to use desktop apps and calm skip to take the commercials out of the stream or block them on the picture and picture page and host our own preferred viewership on our own media servers for our own consumption. Or maybe a torrenting community springs up around this and YouTube content is now just torrented.

They’re moving away from “legacy” formats like MPEG’s AVC/h.264 in favor of AV1.
