#YouTube detecting #adBlockers might even be _illegal_ in some jurisdictions:

@ImperfectIdea @tripu @fidel @gasull Still works for me.
@tripu I guess it's deployed in stages. I got a 3-video warning, before all videos are disabled, and now I can't watch anything on YouTube with adblockers.
@ImperfectIdea @tripu @fidel @gasull Is that still true when you're logged out of YouTube and using an updated uBlockOrigin?
@tripu @LouisIngenthron @ImperfectIdea @fidel It isn't happening to me. I'm usually connected with VPN exiting in Singapore.
@LouisIngenthron my ablockers are updated, and I didn't try logged out, but I doubt that would make a difference?
@tripu @fidel @gasull
@tripu well, now they are definitely blocking access to videos if you use an ad blocker...
