This is what is most likely.

If this is how Youtube advertised, I wouldn't block the ads. I refuse to sit through ads when I'm searching through videos and I don't even know if the video is the one I want to watch. It's going to take a three minute search into a 10 minute search.
This is what Louis Rossman said. Youtube is completely in their right to kick people off for blocking ads. At the same time, it's also not a pissing match that's worth getting heavily invested in, because ultimately Youtube is going to lose unless they can start coercing people into installing proprietary apps which they already have for mobile devices.

Just because people complained about something in the past doesn't mean it's not a problem.
That said, alt-right types who want to get all "woe is me" "society has degenerated" are pathetic. They're just as addicted to helplessness and being a victim as the "woke" progressives they bully. Just touch grass and move to a conservative place. They also can't do that because they don't want to submit themselves to God and so they can't live with religious conservatives.
The problem is now that people don't want to go to obscure forums or take the time to register accounts on dozens of websites. Everyone wants to be part of huge social media silos. Things like Oauth account creation might make that easier when users can do things like "sign in with Google." Federation through sites like Lemmy could make things better since one account can access every other instance, but I don't see normies ever adopting federated platforms unless each platform has an instance that becomes "The" instance where normies can enter "Lemmy" or "Mastodon" into Google and have that instance be the first result.
The world elites have a huge interest in keeping people in centralized silos because it makes it much easier to control the population when they're gathered around only a few websites.
Since Lemmy is federated, anyone can start their own instance so it's easy for users to migrate if the admins on one instance decide to start banning everyone they don't like.
Alt left covers way too many factions of people that it could apply to. You have disaffected liberals, anti-woke progressives, left-lib Joe Rogan types, tankies and MAGA communists. MAGAcoms are just tankies who vote for populist Republicans because Bolsheviks and Republicans happen to align on many/social cultural issues and support using the state to crack down on what they consider moral depravity.
Does Lemmy have a feature for individual users to block instances?
This is one of the problems with the public mod log that Lemmy has. Transparency is one of the worst things to have when dealing with bad faith actors since it's nothing but a public record of their "accomplishments." It won't stop shitty mods from being shitty.
One of the problems with the public mod log on a federated site is a moderator can just write something egregious for the ban reason and then the user is stuck with that. It propagates across instances too. I have a huge list of banned users who I never actually banned, and I assumed were banned by other instance moderators.
Having a lot of features to try to thwart bad moderation on a federated platform isn't really that important anyway since it's easy for anyone to simply create their own instance and users can migrate there.
It's common among inexperienced males to get overly excited at female attention.
It's also common for men in general to assume that every woman who talks to them wants to have sex with them.
This is an example of why every responsible parent should forbid their children from uploading any pictures of themselves online, or better yet, bar them from social media entirely. This might be a hot take here, but parents should install monitoring software on all of their children's devices and be open about it. Not doing so is negligent.
Your kids could end up on the pedo registry if they take a picture of themselves and someone changes it into porn.
We could deal with this easily by banning the distribution of porn entirely.
