And as a service provider, they can choose to degrade your experience. It goes both ways.

If the service degrades to far due to using ad blockers then I'll just stop watching anything on YouTube. Easy.

Umm, ok. You were not making them any money before, when you were blocking their ads, why would they care if you left?

Because the big channels will get a significant drop in views which lowers their sponsor pay and willingness to work with them.
