Because they don't want to lose a method of tracking us wherever we show our faces. I think masks will be a fashion in the future, and they are just so comfortable.

But I would not have disabled my ad blocker in other circumstances, but YouTube is forcing me to disable it against my better judgment to be able to use the site.

If YouTube takes files from 3rd parties and simply displays them, then viruses are possible. This is more true of ads placed via ad-broker on other websites. To get ad revenue a webmaster provides a space where the ad is inserted. The ad is provided by a 3rd party who pays the ad broker for placement. Neither the webmaster nor the ad broker have any visibility into the content of the ad, which could even contain code (ads which move or present UI elements have code to make those things work)

If a YouTube ad installs a virus on my system, can I sue YouTube?

One place I worked we had a rule - do not name a server for any group using it. It seems the groups become territorial when you try to add a different group to "their" server.

Don't remove the back door from your house, bar it with a sturdy 2x4 that holds it closed. Just be sure to use a 2x4 that is not made weak by the application of a specific chemical that only the secret bad guy knows about.
