What do you mean by server side?

Heres a better article on the technology: https://adguard.com/en/blog/youtube-server-side-ad-insertion.html

It basically makes ad blockers as we use them not work by injecting the ads into the video itself. It will also make things like sponsor block/ublock origin/etc... not work. They are testing the waters as of now.

So you don’t mean ad blocking you mean ad serving.
