If push comes to shove Google can do any number of things to fight against ads. For example, it started, silently, without explaining,for some who remove ads in youtube, to stop the video in the middle.
Heck even creating a credible enough rumor that blocking google search ads seriously degrades results could have a material impact.

Currently YouTube is free and there are no consequences for blocking ads. It's funny, I didn't even realize that YouTube had ads until I turned off my ad blocker one day. I was amazed at how awful the experience was...
