That makes no sense at all. It isn't like skipping ads results in a black screen for the length of the ad.
People with adblockers aren't going to see hour long ads or black screens when they don't see ads in the first place.
It's hilarious that they think it would matter to anyone with an ad blocker. I haven't seen an ad for years on youtube. Hell I haven't even seen promotions in videos for a few months now that I found a sponsor segment blocker.
