    87.7% of the users watch on mobile, they are this mad about 12.3% possibly having access to an adblock.

      Do you mean 87.7% use the YouTube iOS/Android App or 87.7% use their smartphone to watch YouTube? Because in the latter case you also can use ReVanced, Firefox + Adblock, Invidious, etc.

        Invidious (and other front ends) wouldn’t be effected by this

        This is web and official app

      Insert smug “I run YouTube with Firefox with adblock installed” comment here. I’ve not seen any of the anti block stuff yet
