You're never going to capture the "will never watch ads" group.

What is being destroyed by YouTube's current policy that led to this anti adblock attempt, is pushing too far with the ads.

Crap quality and overstuffed.

A 5 second ad on a 4 minute video? Fine.

1:30 ad, one of TWO... on same video?

Fuck. That. Noise.

It's the same segmentation issue as piracy, y'all get hyperfocused on the group that will NEVER play ball, and ruin the experience so much for those that would, that they "swap teams".
