This is hardly the first time this sort of thing has happened. We'll probably just figure out another workaround like we have many times in the past.
~~Would Google know if you're using a DNS-level ad blocker? Probably not, so everyone can just move to that.~~
Edit: I forgot that Google serves ads from the same servers as the content, so DNS as blockers don't work...
DNS level ad blockers don’t work for YouTube or any other site that serves ads from the same place as the content.
