As part of a general trend, yeah it looks that way. But, this is just YouTube. It's a big part of the web, but it's not the web, and definitely not the internet. It sounds like there's already ways around it though so for the type of folks who would have ad blocked I don't see a lot changing, which does make me wonder the point of this is though.
Also just get a better ad blocker.
Yeah, I'm not too worried about it. Youtube is not the only video site on the Internet, and if I have to pick between them and my adblockers, I'm keeping the adblockers.
I'm running Pi-Hole, DNS block-lists on my firewall, Ublock in the browsers, Temporary Containers for every webpage, and other shit I don't even remember probably. I couldn't even turn all that off without significant effort.
