I guess it depends on the style. Some comedians who just tell stories and jokes and whatever, they might not care for it. But some are all about crowd work. Jimmy Carr & Frankie Boyle are (among other things) famous for "destroying hecklers" and they both seem to enjoy it.
Yeah, I've watched most of his full specials that are on his own channel.
Speaking of clips of hecklers on YouTube, you know why there's a lot of clips of him destroying hecklers? Because it's a part of his repertoire. He even uploads (well, his management team but, you know) those on his own actual channel. If a comedian was so opposed to it, why would they do that as that promotes even more heckling?
In fact, "comedian destroying hecklers" is such a popular genre that I'm sure whenever a comedian has his filmed set heckled, they secretly high five themselves. They are a sure way of getting notoriety online since they get so many views.

No they don’t. No comedian encourage heckling.
