YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

If they want to fight hard, they just add the ads into the stream.

Sounds like users are trying to end up in the find out phase.

YouTube... "We provide these APIs and make our apps and privacy policies more accessible than most, but we still can't give everything away for free."

Users... "Haha scum of the earth we think we're beating you and that you have no way to stop us from circumventing your ads without paying."
