Maybe I'm being idealistic, but wouldn't it be nice if YT tried to engage with users of ad blockers in some way to see if a middle ground could be found? I'm sure Google considers itself all-powerful, but in this case they cannot win. They should look at what happened with the music industry and attempt to engage instead of punish.

The middle ground is YouTube Premium, and a zillion other attempts to make it easy for people to pay to remove ads either via subscription or micropayments.

    What does "tracking you" mean in this context? Storing youtube watch history?

      Cross-Site web wide google tracking based on my interests and usage patterns of YouTube. Basically Mass surveillance, stop tracking me and I will pay, which is what meta was forced to offer in the EU ( that is also reportedly Not enough, as you can't lock public rights behind a pay wall. )
