> not blame YouTube/Google for those things

it's because everyone but you have something to gain in that transaction - google got paid ad money, the advertiser presumably got some value in exposure.

Therefore, you, for whom the "harm" has fallen, want to blame someone like google or the advertiser, which google has a form of EULA/TOS to shed all responsibility/liability.

It's just the way the internet is, and the reason for adblocking as a requirement.
