Parroting the angry me Yorker whose name I forgot. If you use an ad blocker your likely privacy aware and they don't get much/any meta data from you.
Also YouTube is extremely costly to run. They are making it abundantly clear you are not valuable to them if you aren't watching ads. You aren't that important.
