Germany has this law, sponsored segments must be clearly labelled. But one could just hash the ad anyways or just try to fast forward and if it doesn't work and it would be the ad.

I was thinking about this. Can we crowd source add hash markers, in a similar way to how Sponsor Block opperates but with hashes instead of time stamps?

It would be pretty trivial for YouTube to change the hashes at random. Might require a clever caching workaround on their end but it's totally possible to just flip a few bits before serving it.
