I wonder if they think antagonizing people that are already fed up enough with ad crap that they install adblock is a good idea.

What do they think is going to happen? We'll just be like 'oh well, sorry, we are going to remove adblock'?

LOL, I'd rather write a bypass myself then do this and give it to all my friends who can't code while I'm at it.

tbf, I was spooked by the initial "turn off your adblocker" banner stuff and I signed up for the offered 3-month YT Premium trial because it's linked to my primary Google account.

In the meantime, I set up a throwaway Google and set that YT profile to have the same subscriptions. Will I pay for YT Premium? Unlikely, but they could make me a pricing offer that's tantalizing enough. I've learned more dev stuff from YT that any Udemy-esque learning service out there.
