Adblocking is PIRACY. Is Linus Right? Asmongold Reacts to Controversial Tweet

Asmongold watches the hottest drama unfold: LinusTechTips states that "Adblocking is the exact same thing as piracy". Is Linus right or is he wrong? Asmongold discusses if blocking ads should be considered piracy. Do viewers have the moral right to watch content for free and disable ads that are forcefully served to them? Is it illegal to block advertisements via browser extensions? Should it be? Does YouTube's terms of service prohibit adblocking, and if so, what are the punishments? And most importantly, is it good or is it unethical to avoid ads on Asmongold's carefully crafted World of Warcraft videos, his mesmerising Final Fantasy XIV playthroughs and his wonderful tier lists? Let's find out.
