MODERATORS
The entire point of this post is that Google felt entitled to violate your privacy by detecting your ad blocker. It's an arms race. If they are free to dictate their terms of service, we are free to dictate what gets displayed on our own computers.
I didn't say you aren't free to do that, but let's just stop pretending it's not pure entitlement that you do that, that you want youtube to be both free and ad-free.
