Are you saying that the ads shouldn't be video ads but webpage ads, instead?
Yeah, exactly why they are enforcing anti-adblock rules...
If this is how Youtube advertised, I wouldn't block the ads. I refuse to sit through ads when I'm searching through videos and I don't even know if the video is the one I want to watch. It's going to take a three minute search into a 10 minute search.
