The ads are available directly at their URL if you look at the stats for nerds, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUWrtfWj2cs
In theory you could watch the traffic from the client and not serve traffic for other video IDs that aren't the original page URL. I might have a play.

Come to think of it... You could MitM all YouTube traffic, build a list of advert video IDs and block those. The YouTube app will probably skip the add.
