Youtube adblock blocking (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Don't give them any ideas. lol Otherwise, cable boxes around the world are likely to receive a firmware update that blocks you from changing channels during commercials.

All future displays will have built in cameras that start dimming and turn off the screen if it notices you aren't paying attention. They'll say it is a power saving feature, but not put in an option to disable it.

This kinda already exists. There's that smart tv you can get for free by agreeing to built-in ads via a display underneath the main one or something. LTT discussed it recently; I think I saw a WAN show clip about it.
