DRM
A community for the discussion of topics surrounding DRM, Digital Rights Management.
All media that DRM can be applied on can be discussed here, for example books, movies, music or games.
Digital rights management (DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content. Various tools or technological protection measures, such as access control technologies, can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. DRM technologies govern the use, modification and distribution of copyrighted works (e.g. software, multimedia content) and of systems that enforce these policies within devices. DRM technologies include licensing agreements and encryption.

It won't kill adblockers, because adblockers don't circumvent DRM.
DRM in the video feed would allow encrypted ads in the videos, and effectively break normal ad blockers.
Only if there was no client-side decoration/measurement code/links etc to denote that an ad is playing, which there will always be.
It's basically no different from having in-stream ads today.
It's very different. It's not as trivial as you paint it. They can make it as hard as they want to detect.
I'm not making it out to be trivial, but I am realistic about the matter.
You can have in-stream ads to make things 'unblockable', but only so long as there's no other side effects. Any side effects can be detected, that's really just the reality of the matter.
