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.

Its not debated. Its bullshit.
flat earthers existing doesnt put the earth’s sensual curves up for debate either.
It’s Cybersecurity.
100%
Absolutely.
Adblocking is good cybersecurity practice. It puts into stark relief how much of Marketing is actually just manipulation and malware.

It’s one of Lienus’s L takes. People are giving it the benefit of a doubt because he has a huge following.
I started parroting “using a VPN to bypass region block is privateering” in response. LMG taking any VPN sponsorships after that L take is hypocrisy in my book.
Why hyprocisy? It’s a fair point to say circumventing paying in some way is piracy. It’s possible, so anyone can decide for themselves.
The hypocrisy lies in Linus preaching “ad blocking is piracy” while taking VPN sponsors which enables piracy in another way.
Gotta work on that reading comprehension friend.
It boggles my mind about but people are upset about blocking ads in a piracy group. Chill out everyone!!
They are so upset about this non-argument that they firigot to answer OPs question
ReVanced and Newpipe on mobile, SmartTube on TV, uBlock origin on Vivaldi and LibreWolf (currently in the middle of switching).
Seen nothing on any of those. They’re all working flawlessly, for now.
I think it’s in A/B testing right now, maybe you haven’t gotten it?

Adblock is piracy!
Just use Pided (https://piped.video), Invidious, Freetube or something else.
Youtube website is just trash bloated with JavaScript and trackers.
Is it now? then I’ll do it harder.
Sadly youtube has all the sweet content, all these alternatives are lacking on that main thing, content.
If you use uBlock origin you would never see it. I use both PiHole + uBlock origin and I would never see it lmao.
Pihole does nothing on YouTube as their ads are served on the save server as the videos.
I know, but they help with the ads on the website itself. Not the videos.
But you have ublock? It’s just redundant at that point.
Pihole works wonders for mobile apps in general. Especially games. Ublock and pihole are similar but different enough to use both. Yes, ublock is overall better for browsers. But for network wide coverage, including smart TV’S, mobile apps, iot stuff like ring cameras etc.
I agree with this since I myself use PiHole, but it is redundant on a browser which uses ublock - and that was my original point.
Piehole would be the “whole house/device” Adblock protection. Ublock is the one device Adblock. Fair to use both in my opinion.
I use Firefox with ublock origin and haven’t seen it yet.
