The fact that no one who knows about ad-blockers will realistically turn it off for youtube kinda drives them into a corner right?

Maybe they should address the core reasons that everyone who is aware uses ad blockers.

The core being that ads suck: i don't think this one is solvable.

Everyone says they are okay with "reasonable" ads, but I have been alive long enough to know that just isn't true as one mans reasonable is another's objectionable.

Besides, adblockers are needed all over the internet so if I have in there anyways, why would take extra steps to diminish the youtube experience for myself?
