I adblock so that pages take 1/10th the time to load as they would otherwise, don't block me from seeing content, and don't irritate me by playing sound or animations.
The other factor I see is that most ads are terrible. Most YouTube ads seem to think that they have 30 seconds to tell a story, and try to do so. No, you have 5 seconds to hook my attention. Some ads actually succeed at this and I watch the whole thing just to see what they're saying. Most start out with a slow pan across a horizon or some kids running around a house making noise, and I click Next before I have any idea what the ad is even remotely about.
