YouTube isn’t just a video sharing site though. It’s a social media site. There is value in people participating by replying and Liking/Disliking.

Frankly, banning ad-blockers feels like treating the symptoms rather than the cause. There is something wrong with your platform if people hate your ads so much that if they can’t block them they would rather not visit your site at all.

Youtube is an ad showing platform. All the other features are just there to get people to view ads. If you stop viewing ads you are of no value to Youtube.

If you participate in the social network, i.e. post comments and vote, you are creating some content. So your value isn't completely zero.
