I’m sure that the number of times I’ve decided “nah I don’t need to see that” after being told an ad blocker violated YouTube’s terms of service has absolutely nothing to do with it either.

Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)

the number of times i say "nah i don't need to see that" as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video...

The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.
