YouTube's own video ads can currently be blocked. I predict, however, that Google won't allow this for long, because there were already signs that they are deploying anti-ad-blocking detection. People don't realize, but the detection of ad-blockers is possible and hard to prevent. Even uBlock Origin, although granted, it's still the most difficult to beat. That companies abstained from doing it, that's only because ad-blocking eyeballs are still good for business, but given that the market share of ad-blockers has grown tremendously, that will change.
