Now you're just getting ridiculous.

Your other question is a *great* question, which is how does New
Pipe block what you call 'slipstream' video ads.

Your other cynicism is also valid which is why hasn't Google
blocked them yet, even though New Pipe code is open source and
even though New Pipe has been around for *years*?

I don't know the answer to either of your great questions.

The short answer is...

the application would have to catch the switch and ignore the stream
until the advertising video has finished playing, and then resume
capture once youtube restarts the stream you thought you were
watching the entire time. There's a bit more going on behind the
scenes than your browser or youtube is showing you. It's not really
slipstreamed into the video you selected to watch; the advertising is
actually a seperate file and when in streaming mode, you're giving
youtube the opportunity to pause the video you wanted to watch and
stream some advertising your way.

You can observe this not occuring by using this plugin:

Further, when you do see your video switch to advertising, you can
use the same plugin and see for yourself that the advertising isn't
part of your video, it's actually another file entirely AND you can
opt to download it too, if you wanted.
