YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
I wonder if this would affect things like Newpipe (android YouTube client replacement with no ads) or even just playing streams via MPV. I assume that stuff is relatively safe since it’s grabbing the actual video streams, but I’m sure there is still a way they could block them.

they’ll probably start embedding the ads in the video stream like Twitch does
