YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin

The current implementation sends YouTube false information about whether the ad was run. That absolutely intrudes on the server. Really it's no different from telling a cashier you already paid online or something like that.

I guess we're even then, since they do not respect DNT.

Hey I've got no qualms about stealing from youtube. I'm just willing to admit that that's what I'm doing.

What current implementation and what false information? What are you talking about? The article literally says the opposite?
