I don’t quite understand how they’re gonna “ban” you if you’re not logged in. Which you can accomplish with an incognito tab. What are they gonna do, block the IP?
My first thought was “what if there’s a service outage and I can’t load advertising content from their CDN?” It’s very clearly a different location because otherwise ublock would block actual content.
If they don’t do that and just check for things like ublock client side, guess my decision to put pi hole on my network was smart.
Guess I’m getting banned then, I will never disable my adblockers, the internet (and Youtube especially) is goddamn unusable without them.
This is where VPNs come into play. You can ban me all you want, I’ll just come back with a different IP.
I’d much rather sink money into a bunch of VPN providers than disable my adblocker or worse, pay YouTube.

This is exactly what they will do, yes.
With carrier grade NATs, they’d block a bunch of people, even subscribers…
