I only watch YouTube on my iPad or rarely my android TV, and there, the premium experience is worth it, since it's difficult to block ads on those platforms anyway.
If your experience with YouTube is primarily through browser then yeah I can see why that experience is shitty.
I'm fine with sites detecting adblock, in the sense that I will just not go to those sites. But if I already pay for an ad free experience then there's no reason for them to care about my adblock, unless they're just mad they can't track me, in which case, they can fuck all the way off.
And yes, I know that Google is in that camp, so they can indeed fuck all the way off.
