YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

Why would you need to re encode when you can literally pause one stream swap in the ad and then swap back in the paused one in the same response

However from youtubes perspective that has the downside that the switching logic is where adblockers can hook in to block the ads.
