YouTube could be testing a three-strikes policy for ad blocking
A Redditor has discovered a popup menu on YouTube, warning them of a three-strikes policy for blocking ads.

Guess I'm getting banned then, I will never disable my adblockers, the internet (and Youtube especially) is goddamn unusable without them.
This is where VPNs come into play. You can ban me all you want, I'll just come back with a different IP.
I'd much rather sink money into a bunch of VPN providers than disable my adblocker or worse, pay YouTube.
I don't quite understand how they're gonna "ban" you if you're not logged in. Which you can accomplish with an incognito tab. What are they gonna do, block the IP?
What are they gonna do, block the IP?
This is exactly what they will do, yes.
With carrier grade NATs, they'd block a bunch of people, even subscribers...
