I don't know, seems kind of trivial to say that you're tracking if they're watching videos or not rather than your tracking if they're running a piece of software. I wonder if in the end game they don't just start wrapping their videos in DRM.

They’ll do what twitch did and embed the ads into the video stream so you can’t block them without blocking the video itself
