Youtube adblock blocking (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Totally agree with you, but they need to make an Ad free only subscription. YouTube Premium is more of a package deal (Ad Free/ YT Music/High bitrate).

Spotify used to have a tier called Spotify Unlimited which basically was essentially ad free Spotify with no other premium features. Half the price £5 per month.

I feel they'd make more money that way too. I'd pay for YT but I don't because I love Spotify, so I feel like I'm paying for something I already have.

And people would still complain about the cost.
