No, I don't see them and the day I cannot block ads anymore is the day I am going to stop using YouTube. It's really not that important to life.
I don't think they'd give a shit if you left, it's not like they're making any money off you.
Are you under the impression that Bad_Ideas_In_Bulk is one person? Physically they might be, but their words represent a massive amount of people. I think millions of people would stop watching if they had to endure youtube without adblock.
And given that YouTube probably loses money money on those people, I don't think they would miss them.
