I have every right to try to block YouTube ads and YouTube has every right to try to defeat whatever I do.

No they do not have that right. They do not have the right to try to circumvent what I'm telling my browser to do. If they don't like what it's doing, they can block me from the platform.

At the most fundamental they have the right to send or not send video data to you.
