Youtube is wasting ressources, it's a fight they can't win
nah, if they embed the ad into the video stream (they were testing this for some users!), the only adblocking option will be to blank out the screen and wait through the ad (or download the video in advance and edit the ad out automatically), both of which would make it a lot more annoying to adblock than currently.
No, you just need to skip the ad. Sponsorblock has been working for years now, solving pretty much the same problem
Sponsor Block relies on the ads being at the same timestamp for all users
