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.

uBlock is NOT redundant as many ads today are not served from 3rd party domains. PiHole is redundant as it doesn't do crap.

do you realise that ublock origin blocks ads from remote domains right? Enable "I am an advanced user" and be shocked to see how many external resources it allows and blocks.

Did you even read my comment?

Did you read mine? Like how fucking stupid are you to just regurgitate my exact point.

But you have ublock? [PiHole] is redundant at that point

I think the main issue of your comment was that you may be mistaking what redundant means.
