Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service

This is what it tells me every time I sign in (I can watch videos without signing in but cannot comment or Like unless I do):

It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allow listed or the ad blocker is disabled.

Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.

You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.

Try YouTube Premium

Not using an ad blocker? Report issue (But that doesn't work either -- neither does it work if I agree to allow ads)

My ad blocker allows me to disable it one page at a time (web page, that is). Does yours do it? That may be the problem.

My YouTube is acting wonky lately. For instance when I went to watch your Pappe link, YouTube assured me that I was using ad blockers (I'm not, honest!) and could no longer watch YouTube until it stole all my cookies -- and even then I was on their naughty list. Plus thanks for the article about Alexander Z.

Strange, i AM using an ad blocker and You Tube has not given me any static. PS: It's not your YouTube, it's whatever your computer video utility is.
