This is a war that was fought by broadcast TV and the makers of videotapes, DVDs, and blu-rays. In every case the Corpos failed. So no, this arms race is and will be won by the ad blockers.
Except all of those formats are now obsolete, no major company is even making Blu-Ray players anymore, and people have moved on to others. So did they fail or did they just find a different method? I’d say the latter. How many people do you know with a working VCR at this point?

Uh, yes they are. What are you smoking? They even still make DVD’s and straight DVD players. They even still make VCR’s.
Pardon me, you’re correct. Sony and Panasonic are the last two holdouts.

Also, those are not VCRs still being manufactured, that’s selling off stock.
