Actually, YouTube is cracking down on adblockers.
So while you might not feel the pain now, you will eventually.
There's always a workaround..
Because they don’t put the effort in.
Add a simple “the video isn’t served until the ad’s length has elapsed” and suddenly your only workaround is to spend 30s staring at a black screen.
Deal.
