    This logic is so flawed lol. It’s also completely trivial for them to detect when their anti-adblock script has been blocked. If it gets blocked, then they can just stop serving you videos.

    There are websites that already do this; it’s not theoretical. The website just doesn’t work if it detects an adblocker.

      Whether or not it’s trivial to detect depends on the method used to block it. It already is an arms race, and said race will continue.

      OK, show us an example. I’ve never run across a website that adblockers just didn’t work on, but maybe you know of one. Give us an example, and we’ll see if we can bypass that. Then we’ll know which of us understands how Javascript works, and which doesn’t.
