Resolves YES if YouTube is forced to change it's practices regarding ad blocking detection (by this or any other similar complaint or legal ruling). Resolves N/A if they stop detecting ad blockers (and bugging users who use them) without being forced explicitly. Resolves NO if nothing changes before the end of 2026. If decision will not be legally binding I may consider extending the time frame.

Edit: I didn't write it explicitly, but YouTube asking for additional consent before providing access to it's services would of course count (something like "you consent to ad blocker / extension / etc. detection" which has to be acknowledged by the user before the access is granted).
