>I think your mistake is believing everyone who uses ad-block also believes ad-free YouTube is worth paying for. I do not.

No, they are saying that they will not "lose your business" because there was no business in the first place, which is true.

It was hard to parse that sentence; I see now what they meant, thank you. Although that also seems to imply ad-block users are indignant. I don't mind leaving YouTube.

Nonpaying users still have value. If they didn't, companies wouldn't pay for bots to follow them on social media.
