Nah, most people don't give a fuck. If the method of bypassing ads gets too intricate, they'll cave.
Seriously, the vast majority of people just let the ads run, or even watch them. They're either unconcerned, or lazy, sometimes both.
We've tasted ad-less video entertainment and found it good. That said, for at least half a century OTA network TV required watching ads and most people didn't care much because they didn't have to pay cash for the service. I think many/most people have the capacity to tolerate ads to get what they want.
