Hate to be this guy, but in theory Youtube would be get aggressive towards both Firefox users(anti competition) and uBlock Origin users( to raise their revenue and to push for YouTube premium).
I hope uBlock Origin keep working forever, but I think at at some point YouTube will get more aggressive till adblock users will be unable to use Youtube.
When ever they finally manage to prevent the use of adblockers I'll just buy premium and won't even be mad. The only reason I'm not already paying is that adblocking is so easy. Considering how much I use YouTube (and how long I have used it for) it's easily worth every dollar.
