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.

Sometimes I get those pop ups when I’m reading news from outlets with millionaire pundits like CNN or NBC, and I always gleefully click on “I’ll disable my adbloxker next time”

The more pathetic the message, the more gleeful I get. "Motherfucker, I am below the poverty level, and you are literally Reuters."

I take those motherfuckers out with Ublock's element picker and zapper. No more half measures.
