I appreciate the effort, but…
I like me some tech discussion and freedom.
Thank the sky above for the 1st and 2nd amendments.
Reality is best seen as absurd.

My philosophy? I don’t wanna pay for it.
Honestly, with the exception of abandonware that can’t legally be bought anywhere, piracy can’t be legitimately excused. If you do it, you do it because you want something that you should pay for, but don’t wanna. Which is a choice you can make, I won’t hate you for it, but own that instead of pretending that you have a logical moral argument to getting it.
Honestly, I have no real clue.
Twitch isn’t quite completely impervious to adblockers, with proxy extensions allowing us to skip ads still for now, but YouTube could do the exact same thing tomorrow if they wished. uBlock Origin wouldn’t save you, SponsorBlock wouldn’t save you, the only thing that could be done would be a black screen whenever an ad pops up.
Maybe YouTube doesn’t want to fall into the hole Twitch is in, with the proxy loophole, and they view fighting adblockers as a better choice than having to spend a massive amount of encoding expense to have the silver bullet in every country.
