It’s really not. Piracy is copyright violation, and an ad blocker doesn’t violate copyright, it just violates the platform’s TOS.

Your definition of piracy is not correct

How so? This is straight from the dictionary:

3
a: the unauthorized use of another’s production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright
b: the illicit accessing of broadcast signals

  • unauthorized - I’m not hacking around any YouTube authentication, nor did I agree to any additional terms of service
  • infringement of copyright - again, I’m not sharing it, reposting it, etc; I’m just accessing it as normal
  • illicit - I’m not breaking any laws

So which part is incorrect?

You continue defining yet more terms to avoid saying another. You do you, but that’s not how the world works
