Youtube is experimenting with blocking users found to be using ad-blockers.

Google ads work by tracking users and their activities. I don't particularly care whether an ad appears on my graphical virtual screen, since I don't have to actually watch it — I could do something else.

What matters to me is refusing to be identified, as well as not running nonfree JS code. If I can't pull in the video without being thus maltreated, that will make YouTube inaccessible for me once again.

The real determinant will be whether the Invidio.us proxies continue to work.
