Youtube adblock blocking (self.piracy)

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.

It’s needed.

no it's not. It's convenient, but not needed. Same goes for adblockers, they are not needed, but are very convenient.

Having two Adblock’s isn’t a problem either.

Yes it is. Is there any advantage to having 4 different adblock extensions on your browser? No, it only increases the attack surface to your browser. PiHole is useful for everything but web browsing since you can use an adblocker, such as ublock origin.
