I'm using Vivaldi, I matched your settings and added those lines but nothing. Still blocked.

Weird, I just loaded up 10 or so videos in a row w/o an issue. We are both in DFW, so it shouldn't be regional, maybe ISP related? You have a VPN you could use to jump around IP addresses (Mullvad is a good and cheap one)? There were other solutions earlier in the thread you could go back and try too, maybe.
Other than that, I guess you could try Privacy Badger. But it's blocking the same stuff UO and NoScript are picking up:

It's possible that I don't know what I'm doing as well. I've always ran Ublock but never tinkered with it, it worked fine and I never had to. Noscript is new to me and maybe I fucked something up trying to get Youtube to work.
It kind of sucks but I'm almost to the point that I don't care. The only thing I really watch on Youtube is Why Files and Fortnine for the most part.

Can't believe you guys are still having issues. Brave on my computer and on my phone. I'm watching chess videos all day long and I still haven't seen a single ad since this rollout started, nor any difference in behavior.

I didn't mind the adds but when they started ramping them up they have gotten annoying. They flat out said we are going to keep ramping adds up more and more until you have to subscribe. Fuck that and them.
Multiple ads breaks in a 10min video. Then they have the balls to want 21bucks a month. Hope their servers catch aids.

Getting a Biden ad every single time I watch a video is getting extremely irritating

I've been using Vivaldi with Ublock Origin for many years now and have never seen an ad in YouTube or gotten a warning from this new retarded policy. My Pi-hole / Unbound server is even offline at the moment while I completely redesign my network stuff and nothing changed.

They're probably gauging your reaction to threats. At this point I doubt they actually want people to stop watching.
uBlock Origin & Noscript was working great for weeks, but just today stopped working again for youtube, back to the below.
I think they're getting back into the arms race - constant updates and patches to one-up each other.
I hate using different browsers for different sites. I prefer Firefox, but have to use Edge for netflix to get 1080p, the last thing I want to do is install yet another browser just to browse one site.

Stick with firefox and ublock. Just use the New Private Window option for anything you want to do on Youtube. Just don't log in to your account in that browser window.
