What youtube doesn't understand is that we don't need them - they need us. If I am forced to sit through ONE single ad, I will simply stop using Youtube until the ads go away.

Nice thing is, too, they've driven most of the people I even care about to at the very least also post their content elsewhere. The only reason I'm still using YouTube is because it's so easy, and supported by apps and stuff. If they make it no longer easy, I can find most of the content elsewhere, because YT is so shit everyone who isn't a mindless shill has branched out, fearing the banhammer.
What you don't understand is that Google wants this ads vs adblock game.
The escalation is basically a price war. Youtube makes ads unblockable, they get more revenue while increasing costs for competitors like Rumble with the idea that Rumble goes out of business before Youtube.
The end result they foresee to this tit-for-tat is locked down 'trusted' browsers, everybody having to sign in, and no competitors. Then they have total control over what everybody sees and thinks.
While I'm sure there are enough normies watching to float their model of selling ad spaces on videos that are ads in and of themselves, going after the x% who use adblockers is stupid. I for one will simply not use the website. I already mostly dont. It is always a selection among alternatives when I do. Lots of the time, I COULD just read a book and grow that much more as a person, but my weak will easy access on youtube can hold me back. Every time I do read a book, though, and I'm usually reading, a whole subgenre of youtube videos drop like flies in winter.

And it will be at that point where violence becomes the only option.
if only that chick had been a better shot
Ms. Aghdam was taken from us too soon.
