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.

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.

Edit: Found the clip I was thinking of, this goes into decent detail on this.

We officially live in a Cyberpunk dystopia, and I am 100% here for it. Ride the synthwave, choom.

When it comes in exchange for rocket legs I will concede.

That's fair, I'll give you that. Only 80s cyberdeck/Hackers-style dystopia is currently available, and I'm okay with that. More will come, and I'm kind of a retro-head anyway. By the by, I updated my OG comment with a link to the clip I was talking about. Check it out and be horrified!

I at least need flying cars and more neon if I can't have my rocket legs. At the very least real hover boards.
