This is an arms race YouTube cannot win

They can win by making videos only accessible via account and aggressively banning adblock users. It will hurt it at first but people would rather accept it instead of finding a replacement. I expect this to happen in a few years.

Nothing can beat a VCR with an ad skip button.

And I am not afraid to use it.
