Also a bizarre move considering they are so hard on for ads because Youtube is incredibly expensive to maintain. You are going to pay for comically large servers by... burning more computer time inserting ads into streams? Google screwed adbuyers before by not actually showing the ads where they were supposed to, Idk why they are trying so hard instead of doing more of that.
I was of the impression that a farcically low number of people even used adblockers in the first place.
As of 2021 it was roughly a third of people using them. No idea what it is now.
32.8% of people worldwide use them at least sometimes. China stays winning the world's highest adblocker use (total and per capita) at 40%
Possibly they don't want to be actually showing ads, they just want to threaten you with hard to skip and hard to block ads so that you'll buy Premium, but they won't actually go out and say "yeah YouTube is pay to play now" because that'd be a bad move
