    Its their platform . its their choice. We don’t have a choice to force them to allow adblockers. There is always a choice to load content after the ads are served . If they go that route then no adblocker can bypass it.

    • It’s their choice, and I would simply not use YouTube. Access to YouTube specifically is not very concerning to me.

      But if they try to normalize this or even attempt to influence legislators that adblockers should be restricted in any way by law, then I would be concerned, and for this reason I think it’s important to articulate right now that there is nothing inherently wrong or unethical about using an adblocker.
