This isn't a moral issue. Google has full control over who they offer services to.
So they can of course block people using ad-blockers. If my ad blocker manages to get around that and still let me watch the videos, I can of course do that without feeling guilty, too.
They decide what data they serve and to whom, I decide what I load on my pc as long as it's still served.
Right on, this is all completely true. That's why people complaining when YouTube stars slowing down or blocking are in the wrong right? If they are losing the arms race it is their fault and they should be complaining to their adblock developers, rather than complaining about YouTube's behavior, right?
Right.
