Bypassing ads is already technically piracy as the concept of piracy is the idea you are stealing potential revenue.

No, piracy is about distributing unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Revenue has nothing to do with it.

Thats what it used to mean for physical shit. For digital media is purely just denying revenue. Also yarrrrr
