Is there any risk of google escalating to banning accounts for adblocking? (hexbear.net)

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.

Probably not, but if you're really concerned the way I view YT is probably worth doing. mpv/youtube-dl (yt-dlp) while grabbing links from the browser but never actually viewing a video in it. I have a way to autoplay videos in mpv when clicked in my browser, there's also browser add-ons like ff2mpv
