Original Note:
Google is not going to “ban” users for using an ad blocker. Instead, they are testing a feature to block video player access for those with Adblock, not an account ban like the tweet suggests. This Reddit post mentioned in the linked article confirms this: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/14kmd07/youtube_cracking_down_on_if_youre_not_paying_them/
