YouTube's new anti-adblock measures

I pay for YouTube premium. Surely everyone here can too. This stuff isn’t free so either deal with ads or pay for premium

This stuff is freely available on the open web and I don't deal with ads or pay for premium because there's zero compelling reason to do so.

If creators have a problem with the revenue loss, their contract is with Google and they should take up those concerns with Google. If Google has a problem with how I consume their public content, they can make it non-public or try to block me in some other way.

I owe neither of those entities anything and until they either make the content non-public or find a way to block me without blocking others they want to see their content, I'll keep on consuming it how I like.

It’s not “freely available” it’s available with ads. You are just circumventing the ads which is akin to piracy. I’m not making a moral judgement but at least be honest about it. You are trying to consume nonfree content without paying anything
