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.

I get what you're saying but I've reached a point in my life where I really don't give a shit and there is absolutely no way I'm watching ads. I'm also not paying google for anything they offer.
