A second camera pointing at a different angle would squash that workaround, sadly. And if it gets to the point of paper mache humans, I wouldn’t put them past it to add a third, infrared camera.
BTW: We’re not all fucked. Only those who use Google products are.
I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Non-comforming browsers could just be blocked or forced to watch the longer, unskippable ad. Similar concerns to how the implementation (or refusal to implement) web environment integrity would create a two-tiered internet.
You could print an image and hang it before the camera or place a life-sized cardboard human there.

While I’d miss but could maybe do without the entertainment from YouTube, I need the software tutorials.
There were software tutorials before Youtube, and there will be after.
Personally, I hate having to watch a video to learn something because reading a text is just so much faster.
