Not really. I could introduce an encrypted VoD event type, that all major studios support. I split my videos into sections and refuse to give up the key till 30 seconds after you download an ad. Granted you could then make a Nostr client that downloads the ads ahead of time and skips them. Then I make sure not to send the ad until the correct time has elapsed.
Next you cache the content but then I DMCA you. Next I have signed clients that promise not to let you copy the content and we are right back where we started.
People will download the signed clients because they don't care about anything other than whether they can watch Lonely Wives of Svalbard or not.
Embrace, extend, extinguish still works.
The only way to prevent that is to make it unnecessary and inconvenient. If creators have a way to monetize content in a protected way they won't be inclined to sign on to some anti-priacy racket.
I don't actually have a good answer to this. I hate ads, subscriptions, and paywalls. My opinion might change if we really do solve the micro transaction problem via crypto.
