CMV: Advertisers should push back against YouTube banning ad blockers

Youtube seems hell bent on getting rid of adblockers doing everything short of inserting the ads as frames in the video from the server side.

The fact that a user has an adblocker installed is a clear message: they do not want to see ads. Advertisers may be racking up views, but if the viewers have no interest in engaging with advertisements, there is no return on investment. Advertisers may see their spending increase with no corresponding increase in sales to offset the increased views thus this is just a handout to Google.
