I remember there was a bug (or intended behavior?) of people getting their accounts banned for certain kinds of mundane chat messages in live streams and I’m a little spooked that the same will happen with the recent escalation in the adblocking arms race.
The passive-aggressive "I’m just a smol bean multinational media conglomerate and you’ve blocked ads on my page " messages that sometimes make it through my adblocker certainly feel like a precursor to more punitive action.
I’ve never got any of those popups and I use Firefox + uBlock Origin
That’s part of the concern. We never even see the warnings, but they still know we’re blocking ads. Next they shrug and lock our accounts, because “but muh ad revenueee!”
