87.7% of the users watch on mobile, they are this mad about 12.3% possibly having access to an adblock.

Do you mean 87.7% use the YouTube iOS/Android App or 87.7% use their smartphone to watch YouTube? Because in the latter case you also can use ReVanced, Firefox + Adblock, Invidious, etc.

Invidious (and other front ends) wouldn’t be effected by this

This is web and official app

I watch on mobile and have all ads blocked. There are multiple options a ton of people use

Insert smug "I run YouTube with Firefox with adblock installed" comment here. I've not seen any of the anti block stuff yet
