Youtube adblock blocking (sh.itjust.works)

I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven't seen it once.

Uhhhhh not quite, the fact that we're probably not going to see the "stop blocking ads plz" message doesn't mean that Youtube can't block access to their website with an adblocker. It's entirely possible, there are websites that already do it.
