@aral I was thinking about Google and YouTube's current war on adblockers - and your post resonates with my thoughts.
An adblocker is a very clear sign that the person on the other side does not want ads. I feel there are 3 ways to respond:
1. respect that and ask them to reconsider;
2. respect that, but don't provide content;
3. not respect that.
Youtube is currently going all-in on option 3.
