Damn, this could stop Invidious, Piped and Newpipe from being able to block ads.
It might take a lot more effort, but I don't think this will be the end. Google is required by law to label ads as such, giving these tools an opportunity to detect and skip them.
What law (and jurisdiction) are you thinking of?
My understanding is that this would be covered with a blanket note on the page if it detects you aren't running Premium.
In Germany, you can't just show advertisement in a YouTube video without marking it. Same rules for sponsorship...
