This would probably be unviable, since from a UX standpoint you want the first segments of the non-ad content to be preloaded when the ad ends.
That will be irrelevant when the control freaks take over. Case in point: anti piracy ads in the good old DVD/BluRay days. Unskippable shit that ironically only punishes people who bought legitimate media.
I honestly think that the people at Google are a bit smarter than that, but we'll see whether that holds or not.
