You're right they do I think, but at least affiliates would be able to get some of the traffic linked to their referrral code. Also, you could also just re-direct ad-block users to the site you want to advertise or even block them completely. If that's the case you could also have everything load through iframe so the user couldn't even use your website if they didn't disable their ad-block.
I have figured a way around ad-blocking software for banners though, but unfortunately people just don't click on them.
To get around ad-blocking software and have banners still show up I've done this and found it works. I download the banner and then copy and paste it into a new image. Then I resize the banner slightly to irregular sizes, like instead of 728 x 90 or whatever it is I set it to 732 x 91 or something like that. After doing that I also resave the banner with a new name that is not specific to anything, and host the banners myself on my sites rather than just using a default hosted banner, which gets blocked.
I am not sure if one of these things, or all of these things combined are what does it, but this gets your banner through the ad blockers (at least when I've tested it).
Problem is.. people don't click the banners. They see the website name and url in the video watermarks and just type in the address themselves.
I wish affiliate ad tools were better because I want to sell memberships to websites and help keep the industry going, not have "free videos" to watch and sell ad space to 3rd parties like many of the big tube sites do.
