I don’t think Google ever blocked someone for abusing their services (unless it was GCP, which is not meant for personal use anyway), they believe in annoying a person to compliance instead of banning them.
They started blocking people who use ad blockers from watching videos if they don’t disable it on YouTube. I think they just started doing it in the last few weeks
I have had no issues. Even if they did end up successfully blocking (not likely) the videos are accessible via 3rd party sites/clients. I don’t see Google ever being able to successfully block users without adding a login requirement, and even then…
Firefox+UBO and Revanced users: Oh no… anyway…
They’re blocking users who use UBO
That’s what they want you to think.
I’ll have you know I remain unblocked.
I am not blocked. I use UBO.
Didn’t they already try to do that with manifest v3? They couldn’t do shit within their own chromium platform, I doubt they’d be able to do it now.
And even if they could, UBO devs would just find a way around that.

Not all of them, currently. And if they were to do that, I’m sure some handy people will find a way around that.
Block their Google account or block from viewing videos on YouTube?

I think what people who are commenting here aren’t getting is that they’re only doing it to a percent of accounts and not ALL accounts.
