Why the fuck would anyone uninstall their ad blocker just because one site demands it? Whitelists exist for a reason.

I'll stop using Internet before I even consider whitelisting YouTube.

Right? I've used ad blockers as soon as they popped on the Internet scene. I hate advertisements, commercials and any kind of marketing. I don't watch TV, and when I do or it's on nearby, I get up and walk away during the commercials. When sponsored stuff interrupts a video I'm watching, I skip forward until the video returns. If I have to use a browser with no ad block, I straight up abandon most sites. It's untenable!

In general, I treat life and products/services I want like a business doing a Request For Purchase (RFP). If I want something, I'll look up companies that provide that product or service and rely heavily on the recommendations of friends, family, and community when making a purchase decision. Those who aggressively solicit me will almost never get my money or be considered.

Fuck capitalism.
