Youtube and others want their users to disable adblockers to increase their revenue from advertisements, but will forcing the users to so do be effective in the long-term? What unexpected consequences could occur? Why do people use adblockers in the first place? Why aren't more users buying Youtube Premium as a solution? Do adblock users still contribute value to websites? Can websites effectively enforce such policies? Are there ways to naturally encourage more users to disable their adblockers instead?

For me 2 things are clear:
yt premium? Not even when hell freezes over.
when they block adblock I'll resort to the alternatives.
I also make a point to NOT buy shit from advertisers that are forced onto me from sites that disallow adblock.
FB has no problem with it, I think they thought it through.
