I'm a little confused about this. Apparently they know who is doing ad blocking, so why the hell would they do a delay instead of the annoying popup saying to fuck off with the ad block?

Adblocks usually block pops. I think their best solution is also their worst solution which would be to stop the videos from playing for them, thus not counting views, which would reduce ad revenue
