I use an adblocker and have largely just ignored the messages from YouTube until they finally blocked me. I think it took more than 3, and I still can occasionally watch videos - so I'm not really sure what the rule is... This has been mentioned elsewhere, but the thing I'm most concerned about is this: They mention that using an ad blocker violates the TOS. So, if they're aggressive (or just automate it irresponsibly) I can see a situation where they start closing one's Google account. And that's serious (to me anyway).

That's my biggest fear too. Better to avoid using YouTube while logged in.

  You don't need to be logged in for them to know who you are and/or what accounts are yours.

    I wonder how far that goes. They don't show ads on embedded content, but is possession of an adblocker enough to get their algorithmic wrath pointed toward you?
