I use adblockers. My YouTube experience is pretty clean.

But I got the pop-up this morning saying that adblockers are not allowed on YouTube. Fair enough.

But it got me wondering: would Google go so far as to disable accounts that do this? Losing access to my Google account would be bad, even though I have degoogled as much as possible.

If Google would do this, I think I’ll stop YouTube, which is fine too; my account is just too critical at this point. I would love if it weren’t.

So Googlers, whether speaking for yourself and giving your own opinion, or officially, would Google do that?

For everyone else, would it even be legal for Google to do that? Why or why not?
