Youtube adblock blocking - eviltoast

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.

    Just because you think making you watch ads make it abusive doesn’t mean it is.

    Why do you hold the voice of truth? I just told you, I don’t think it is abusive because that is giving more money to content creators. If you think it is abusive, stop using the service. Also, you knew about the data they are mining and you’re still using the service. Do you think others are blind to the fact Google collects data? They just don’t care, like you.

      Do you also think the husband isn’t being abusive because the battered wife let the food get cold? ‘It is not abusive because he gets a hot meal out of it’. That’s what you sound like.

        So you’re saying YouTube is an abusive husband and you’re a wife who can’t get away from that relation because you’re too afraid for your life or your children’s future?

        I never saw it like that. I hope YouTube doesn’t kill you or take away your children.

        You’re comparing very serious cases with the most ridiculous type of dependency ever. You’re comparing an abusive employer/employee relation with YouTube making you watch ads. Holy shit. A husband beating the shit out of his wife with YouTube making you watch ads.

        What’s next, are you going to compare this with African-American slavery? A level 7 intergalactic species dominating the milky way and extracting resources from defenseless planetary systems?

        I really need to know what’s next.
