It seems like this could be easily defeated via random ad injection.

And could this be defeated because the video itself is static and identifying the ad would then be around the unexpected changes to it? :D
Random ad injection is easily defeated by services like that. They’d just need to fingerprint ever N second window of the video, and then drop stuff that isn’t included across multiple plays.

I wish video distribution would move to self hosting or some other decentralized model though.
