Youtube is wasting ressources, it's a fight they can't win
They have infinite resources. They're making gestures to dissuade normies. I suspect this will get them most of the result they want. They're also wasting time, effort and resources of adblock programmers (and that is a far more limited resource).
If they had infinite resources, they wouldn't need to worry about adblockers.
They aren't worried about them. They are squeezing what they can out of the platform.
Iirc YouTube has a positive revenue now
