It's A Digital Disease!

I am running ytdlp to archive a large amount of channels and i am kinda worried to contaminate my archive data with add injected versions.

The thing is so far i havent seen a single one with it in about 500 videos, i just finished downloading via proxies in germany, uk and japan (downloaded videos that are about 1-2 weeks old that i already have and compared length via script)

How many users really get videos served with direct injected adds currently?

And in what regions?

I hope a feature gets merged into ytdlp that checks video lengths and alerts if it detects more than +/- 1 sec compared to a known DB like sponsorblock.
