Youtube is aware that serving ads to people who hate them is going to reduce brand value, right? I thought that was the reason they were ok with adblockers before...

If the amount of people that just put up with ads currently instead of switching to Firefox is anything to go by, I think the number of people who truly care is less that you might think. Especially when YouTube is such a monopoly.

The people that hate YT ads hate Google already anyways.

They have decided that the damage is worth less than the cost of serving videos to users with add blocks. Only time will tell if they are right.
