I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven’t seen it once.

      And they can do anything they want with their property so they’ll block you if you do that.

      But that is the point!! Don’t use their service man, nobody is forcing you :)

        They haven’t blocked me so I guess they’re ok with it.

        Nobody forces me, but I choose to. Just like I choose not to watch the ads.

          They’re still doing canary testing. Eventually they’ll block accounts from users that use adblock after they get a warning.

          So you’ll have to choose if you want to keep using the service with ads or move on to something new. And the great news is that it is totally your choice and you’re free to make it.
