Just got a stupid "adblocker bad" popup over a video just now for the first time.
(I use Firefox BTW.)

Hit by Youtube's AdBlocker detection. Help needed.

As soon as I was about to post that I never get this notification on Brave, it shows up. What is this dark magic?

How DARE JewTube do this to us. I have had two "suck the ad-dick, paypig" notifications since this morning. I am physically disgusted, and my day is ruined. If this escalates to the video being unplayable, I will be sending a strongly-worded email to my member of parliament.

For the first time ever I got a couple of these in Chrome. YT-vids opened from the farms in Firefox works no problem, I've been watching the latest Rossman videos without a problem.

Haven't gotten it yet, using an up to date Brave install with Ublock Origin, and that hasn't been actively refreshed in a while, has some extra filters enabled. Google isn't yet sending their best, but I'm sure something's gonna get ultra fucky soon, I see you guys getting it and I'm hearing elsewhere that this is popping up for more and more people. Bring back the dislikes has randomly broken but that could be some conflict with my 30 other extensions.

I saw something that said to add the following filters to uBlock Origin:
I just did it and haven't tested it a lot yet, only watched a few videos but it hasn't popped up yet. I wasn't getting it every video though. It will require more testing.

I've noticed that on Brave mobile a Youtube video will freeze on a black screen for about 5 seconds before playing now. I noticed it about the same time I also started getting these gay popups on desktop so I think it's safe to say it's a result of Youtube ramping up their anti adblock shit. Luckily I can just close the popup and remain unmolested by ads but it's only going to get worse.

Went to add these and realized I haven't even had UO on for Youtube in a while, Brave's blocker has been taking care of everything with decent success.

Youtube is giving a three strike threat with Adblock on now. Wonder if they'll cancel my account over it or not. Worst case scenario, I go to Rumble full time. Would be pretty funny if Youtube manages to commit suicide over this.

Are you on Firefox or Brave? I got hit twice with the adblock detection for the first time on Firefox earlier tonight, and that pushed me to switch to Brave full time, and I find a lot of things about Brave I like better. Nothing from Brave yet on Youtube, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This type of behavior is insane; the ads are so obnoxious, and I've had ads on Youtube pop in in the middle of nowhere on a video, even from channels I KNOW do not monetize their videos. I'm certain platforms like Rumble/Odysee/Bitchute are going to grow if Google decides to go nuclear and ban people from the site for using adblockers.

Yeah, right now, I'm giving a cooldown while watching Youtube with my phone (no adblock) to see what happens.

I haven't been hit with any warnings yet. If YT are going to play the "three strikes", I'll have to archive everything in all my YT playlists (including all the "watch later" stuff I've not yet gotten around to) and move across to Rumble and Odysneed full-time.

I use FreeTube. Never once seen a popup about Adblock.

Any progress on finding a permanent fix for this bullshit? I would just leave the platform and go to an instance like Invidious but Sponsorblock doesn't work there, which makes it almost as bad as it is without adblocking.
