His argument is:

A lot of people were using poor adblockers.
Youtube can block the bad ones but struggles with the good ones.
People switch to the better adblockers (some of which require a subscription)

I wonder how true that is for the average user

My father disabled ublock because it didn't let him use YouTube. I sent hima tutorial on how to update the list and purge the cache but it was too much work for him

Never updated or purged ublock origin. Never got the popup. Is this only regional thing or Firefox built different.
