And on top of that, Youtube’s annoyances are implemented client-side – in other words, by co-opting your own machine, your property that you own, and turning it against you to serve someone else’s interests.
Youtube is free to choose not to serve me content in the first place, but once they do and it’s on my machine, it is my property right to control the computation of my machine however I want. I have just as much right to block ads as I do to write in the margins of a paper book I bought.
Edit: why the downvotes? Do y’all hate property rights or something?

Agreed. If you get the data you should be able to interpret it how you like
I take the same philosophy for radio signals, if the signal’s going through my head physically, I should be able to listen to it
That’s why we should have the right to listen to every phone call happening near us
If the electrons are passing through your head, record that signal! Have fun with it
