So fully blocking ad blockers other than the most popular one? I guess we should be glad they weren't this bad at programming 18 years ago when they launched Youtube...

I'm not using the most popular one (I use Adblock Plus, which iirc most people hate) and I can also freely use Youtube with it turned on. So it's not about ublock.

I don't hate ABP, it used to be the main one everyone used, including me. Problem is it stopped working well at some point so we all switched to uBlock Origin. I'm glad ABP is working well again, but I'll keep recommending uBlock Origin as long as it keeps working.
