What a monumentally moronic strategy on Google's part. The absolutely ridiculous level of ads on YouTube is just going to push me to use Firefox with uBlock Origin and never use Chrome again. Or, if they have the gall to block my account entirely, guess what? I'll just never watch YouTube ever again! Doing me a favour at that point, maybe I should just find better more productive things to do.
It's like the Netflix "no account sharing" BS earlier this year: it didn't push me to get my own Netflix account, it just pushed me to not watch Netflix content at all. Same thing is going to happen with Disney+ next month; same will happen to all of them if they keep going down this road.
