Please be careful, as YouTube is owned by Google, and getting banned by Google is potentially devastating for some people. Google’s products and services dominant the web and mobile, unfortunately.
I’m not saying you will get banned, just pointing out the potential risk.
The whole thing is a cluster. Ad blockers are a necessity IMO.
They ban people for all kinds of crap. Some of it is for violating their TOS. I’m guessing some is just arbitrary corporate BS, too. I mean it is Hooli, er, Google.
Trying to circumvent their anti-ad-blocking detection on YouTube could get you banned on YouTube or maybe more.
