Google seems to have worse marketing skills than Ma Bell had. What they should have done was simply lower the quality of the stream if it detects an adblocker. Drop the resolution, stutter it, buffer it, even play a different video than the one selected every so often. No mention of adblockers or the consequences thereof. The people with adblockers aren't going to pay for content, if you want them gone make it a bad experience for them. Do it to a few people who don't have adblockers as well to throw off the scent and make it difficult to track down, then make some weak apology about how you're investigating the problem.
