YouTube lost a user they never made money from. As if they care.
On paper that is a good thing (for them). Less bandwidth used, fewer server instances needed. Etc, so it even could save them some money.
They'll also stop sharing and talking about videos to the remaining people, who don't use an adblocker, losing clicks. If creating a platform just by paying customers would work, we'd see competition by now. Creating pressure will guarantee the rise of competition, which is a good thing for us.
People stop talking about videos will have a long term impact.
