YouTube has been aggressively pushing for more ads on its platform. And their antics circumvent their own supposedly ad-free subscription.

I won’t mind anyone using Adblocks, because frankly, that should be the job of developers behind the Adblock to leave less intrusive Ads to help the authors and promote balanced ad campaigns on the web.
