They really don't seem to get it. The reason people do all this is because the ads they serve have become more obnoxious, more intrusive, and more stupid than TV ads. (not to mention the borderline illegal or scam ones).
I do remember the days when I was using an adblock extension, but I consciously chose to disable it for YouTube because the ads were tolerable, and I appreciated the site for what it offered.
I know what they could actually do to force people to watch ads, but it seems they're still too stupid to figure it out or implement it. They need to directly inject the ads into the video stream.
