Ad blocking tools can always update too. If YouTube keeps fighting to draw more and more revenue out of its users, it only drives people to other services like TikTok, where their ripped content is ready to watch. Creators on YouTube should possibly be given free accounts, because we all know the pay for their work is not fair as well. Most YT creators don't make a dime for their work.

Twitch (last time I checked) was successfully showing ads despite using uBlock.

I only used twitch for couple of times, maybe more dedicated users have better adblocking setup

I use twitch quite extensively and I almost never see ads. Only maybe 2-3 per year when the cat temporarily catch the mouse, and then the mouse free itself again. No fancy setup either: just a ublock origin on firefox.
