I went to the Yahoo home page and played a video just fine with AdBlock enabled.

If websites start to block users from using the site if they are blocking the ads, all the ad blockers have to do is request the ad images from the server but refuse the data, it would work, and the web server is fooled into thinking the user loaded the ads.

Either way, people are going to find way to block ads, it's inevitable.
