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.

    Yeah it’s even more ridiculous when you apply this logic to sponsored segments.

    It’s an ad, I skip it by seeking in the video, therefore it is piracy?

    Also, people get arrested and fined for piracy where I live (because it is, well, illegal), so people blocking ads should go to prison?
    When the face of LMG talks about things like this in a main channel video they should look into the consequences of the opinion they present.

    Excuse the language, but what the actual fuck was Linus thinking?

    Like what is the actual end goal here?
    Linus says people should be punished for blocking ads, and the best way he thinks it should be executed is by law enforcement? Last time I checked that is how illegal actions are usually handled.
