Incidentally, I am also implementing a three strikes policy - as in I'll still using your website after seeing this shit three times.

Youtube already has three strikes for me, I use Newpipe. :)
My senior neighbor watches YouTube a ton and uses it to listen to music on his laptop. His old laptop recently died and I helped him order a new one and put FireFox with the whole works of adguard, ublock origin, sponsorblock, etc. on it for him and its changed his life! He loves not seeing these dumb ads now!
If YouTube starts banning people for blocking ads, it'll finally be the push I need to move to PeerTube.
Peertube just doesn't have the content.
I wonder if this will affect Revanced users.
Bad news for me, I use youtube a lot with an adblocker and it's essentially ad-free. It's going to be a bad day for me when they start cracking down. It doesn't surprise me, but it's a bummer.
Not to worried, the cat and mouse game would probably catch up within a few weeks on the blocking side.
I wouldn't be so hopeful, Twitch has pretty much remained unbeaten and the only "ad block" solution I've found still gives a 30 second interruption of the stream, it just doesn't show the ad anymore. It's why I don't use the site anymore, even with Twitch Turbo as an option these days.
I use this one and it works perfectly fine. No interruptions
Ill just stop watching youtube. I already miss quite a bit of the Subs I have as the algo doesn't show the new vids I have to go and check myself
I'm sorry for youtube-addicted. On my part, I use it, maybe, twice per year, so I couldn't care less.
Me using youtube daily, to learn things (I enjoy engineering and educational content) I also use it to sleep with the help of ASMR
Ads during ASMR is going to ruin it, good thing ReVanced exists
I guess ASMR (whatever it is) can be found elsewhere as well or dowloaded for offline use?

Is the account banned or the IP? FYI, I don't really login to use YouTube. I mostly use RSS to subscribe to a channel.
or maybe they'll use browser fingerprinting and other hints to try and suss out who the 'bad' users are
Then you just use a browser that randomize fingerprints.
I use vinegar on iOS, which exchanges the youtube player with a html5 play, at least in safari. No ads there
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah screw that, I'll just not use YouTube.
It wouldn't be as bad if their website wasn't such a spammy f*ing mess with ads. Let's go back to the days when advertisements were just banner ads and the odd video sponsor segment.
