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.

Do you also think the husband isn't being abusive because the battered wife let the food get cold? 'It is not abusive because he gets a hot meal out of it'. That's what you sound like.

So you're saying YouTube is an abusive husband and you're a wife who can't get away from that relation because you're too afraid for your life or your children's future?

I never saw it like that. I hope YouTube doesn't kill you or take away your children.

You're comparing very serious cases with the most ridiculous type of dependency ever. You're comparing an abusive employer/employee relation with YouTube making you watch ads. Holy shit. A husband beating the shit out of his wife with YouTube making you watch ads.

What's next, are you going to compare this with African-American slavery? A level 7 intergalactic species dominating the milky way and extracting resources from defenseless planetary systems?

I really need to know what's next.

Yes, we've established that's what you're trying to do, for the 2nd pitiful time now.
