The thing is it was youtube that pushed me to using an addblock in the first place. I was happy with umatrix, hell I preferred it, For the most part I did not mind ads, as long as they were served from the same domain. I put up with youtube ads for a long while but they got so obnoxious I started looking to see if an actual add blocker could make things better, it did and I have not gone back.
At this point it is an arms race. I don't think out right refusing to serve the video will fly for long, the next target is to make the noise(the ad) undecidable from the signal. They already sort of tried this, which made it hard for umatrix to filter out the ads. but they will get better at it.
