By blocking ad-blockers, not only are people just going to bypass this, but more people actually going to learn about ad-blockers, which means that YouTube will lose more money. I didn't even have an ad-blocker at the time of this update, just an add-on that greatly improved YouTube. So, YouTube wrongfully detected that my add-on was an ad-blocker and I was forced to disable it. Out of spite, I downloaded an ad-blocker add-on just in spite against YouTube (lame and petty, I know). So, all YouTube is doing is making more people learn about ad-blockers and losing more money.
