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.

But despite paying still remain the product since Google is still data mining users instead of opting paid users out. And doesn't have options like sponsorblock built in, dislikes returned, or ability to combine subscriptions into custom groups.

I feel you could get the annual cost and divide it among channels you want to give the money and that'd be more money for them. Like I don't see the official YouTube app being a better app than third parties personally.

Even YouTube front ends I've found better than the official YouTube site, since they can bypass region blocks.
