This is google that we’re talking about, they can pull a Twitter and just fully restrict access unless logged in / subscribed. I don’t think uBlock origin can get around the Twitter / Facebook / Instagram log in to see this content modal.

I do not think it will happen, but even if they do implement what you have described here, it doesn't matter. Users will be forced to sign in, and then from there, they can block ads as usual.
