YT has 2 posibilities

  • Hosting all videos doble, one with ads and the same vids without for premium user
  • Insert also markers which at the end also are exploited by adblockers and userscripts

I think they'll hit their teeth against a rock with this.

Press X to doubt

Most people do not have an adblocker. Most people watch YouTube to varying degrees of frequency and duration. Most people will continue to watch the ads. I’d be surprised if YT noticed any amount of users leaving the site because of this. The privacy minded folk are few and far between.
