I think it's less enforceable than they think - every system someone sets up will eventually be circumvented.
It'll be a pain for a few months, or we'll see a federated alt pick up creators.
To be honest, YouTube would be the hardest thing to replace. And if they ever stream ads from the same URLs as content I don't see a blocker being overly successful.
They already do stream ads from the same urls. It's why a pihole can't block youtube ads.
But you can tell what's coming, since apps like SmartTubeNext and Revanced can skip them.
It'll probably just be a cat and mouse game, as it always has been.
I disagree, something like Sponsorblock is working quite well already for ads embedded in the video and unless YouTube makes serious sacrifices in UX I don't see how they could prevent this.

Replacing a megacorp service is only possible when the stars align and said megacorp makes a fuckup so big users start jumping and these users are still a tiny speck compared to the total userbase. Still I hope Reddit dies slowly.
There are already open source Alternatives. But not federated.
What about peertube? Since Twitter -> Mastadon | Reddit -> Lemmy Why not Youtube -> Peertube next :D
@Onurb @Johanno with the urge of disabling adblocker it won’t take long i think…
But when YouTube does bad things, users tends to go on Odysee despite PeerTube 😞
Is there something wrong with odysee?
Shady blockchain service with almost no traffic except for some spikes in 2021.
@rclkrtrzckr yeah the fact that is waste of electric power over PeerTube.
It lacks Federation too.
