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.

    So please give me the objective definition of what is abusive. Because in my book that is totally subjective. I just told you they created an almost perfect service that let’s you stream infinite amounts of information with zero downtime and minimal buffer times, and they are asking a few minutes of your time per day, so they can make a profit and pay fairly to content creators and very smart engineers.

    For me that is fair. For you, that’s abusive. Who is right? You because you agree with yourself?

      I’m not sure if you’re constructing a strawman or if you think you’re replying to someone else.

      I didn’t say whether or not it’s abusive.

      All I said was that your logic of “if their user count doesn’t go down it’s not abuse” is bullshit. I went on to bring up the “boiling the frog scenario” to further explain how users can become accustomed to abuse.
