The company I work for allows targeting of advertisements based on the video content on a page. We do track users by dropping a cookie (so that we can calculate GRPs) but make no attempt to identify or behaviourally target users - we don't believe either are very effective for brand-building, which is our target market; it's about having your brand associated with certain content, not patterns of browsing.
A lot of people at work use AdBlock - even the operations people who spend a lot of their time looking at (and for) ad-laden pages will often have one browser with and another without, or will browse in Incognito mode when they need to see ads.

Some programmers probably believe "I use ads for money but I block all the other ones because I have the intelligence to do so and anyone who doesn't is a sucker and it doesn't matter that I'm exploiting them because they don't care enough." My two cents.
