    I’m pretty sure that the majority of people using ad blockers on Youtube will never, ever buy something based on a forced Youtube ad.

    So far I’m still using Vanced (works sometimes) and New Pipe (works all the time) and both do not display any ads at all.

    I pay for a certain amount of bandwidth. Yes, the speed drops depending on what and how things are connected, but you are guaranteed by law to get the speed you subscribed to at the point of connection to the internet. Ads steal your bandwidth.
