I feel like if you're the type of person to download uBlock and set specific filters you're the type of person to never click on an ad on purpose.

I don't understand why Youtube is doing this, wouldn't it make their numbers look better if the people that won't click ads never have them delivered to them (5% of users clicked on ads vs 1% of users clicked on ads)

Most ads particularly video ads don't expect people to click on them. Like TV ads. They want our eyeballs and brains.
