I honestly don’t really care if people adblock or not but I think people need to acknowledge that adblock is essentially piracy.

The same way it is piracy to go to the bathroom during the commercials...

Look, the problem at hand is not if people use adblocker or not, the problem here is how Google check if you are using adblocker or not, which seems to be illegal.

Well, the full "check for adblocker" things seems to be illegal in EU, whatever way it is used, given a sentence from 2016
