I never see YouTube ads by virtue of my hosts file. If they block me for that I guess I'm going to stop watching youtube. The mobile experience is fucking cancerous by comparison.

Okay...
So this shit went live and I don't have it on my PC but my other computers routinely get the "You have 3 strikes" bullshit now.
All the PC's, as far as I am aware, have the same software blocking.
Any suggestions to block their faggoty ads?
Debating a piHole if those are a thing anymore.

It's fine for me in Firefox, only Edge is giving me issues.
Consider switching to Firefox.

UBO is staying on top of it but their current implementation requires you to manually go into the filter list and update the Quick Fixes list for daily changes. Nothing in the software is altered just the regex code detection for YT so they might need to add an auto-updating solution whenever you open the browser.
edit: Based upon UBO dev comments they already get 3 billion requests to the CDNs per month with their lists set to update every 12 hours. Increasing the traffic load even for a single quick fix list might be asking too much of their hosting providers.

Always wondered in the back of my mind how much revenue they lost on people smart enough to run adblock or tunnel somewhere that doesn't have ads. Figured it would have to be low enough that it was worth the loss, but if they are going for this at the risk of massive levels of people going "Nope, fuck right off with that shit" maybe its higher than I thought.
Haven't updated adblock/noscript on firefox in a while, I see some ads trying to play for 5 seconds of black screen then it just turns back into the video. Curious to see who winds up winning between Google, adblock (or equivelants) or someone who spins up an alternative that only allows 2x 5 second ads or something on it.

Having a small issue with this on Vivaldi with UBlock Origins + Privacy Badger + NoScript.
I got it to 100% "bypass" the 3 strike screen by just fiddling around in UBO, "blocking elements" until it was gone. Now, when playing a video it auto pauses after the first second or two but I just need to hit play again to play normally. It also wont let me scroll down the page (to see comments).
Also a funny work around using FoH: copy the address of the video, paste it in a new comment window of FoH, click on "preview" for the comment, then press play.

I just switched to putting YT in a private tab in firefox with ublock/noscript. I am not logged in, and haven't seen the notice again.

It seems to be in relation to blocking the 3 strikes window, as I can get the spot to move by resizing the whole browser and it disappears when going to full screen.
