Only if they can detect that you're using one.
I don't have an ad blocker, I just have the standard strict tracking protection enabled in Firefox. What's more, I pay for YouTube Premium. But still they add a five-second delay every time I visit a web page. It's infuriating.
I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services...
No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I'd gladly stop using youtube, but there's no competition.
