turns out they started playing ads THROUGH adblockers I guess, idk I switched from uBO to AdNauseam and I haven't seen any video ads, then again, AN hides ads rather than blocking them entirely, so idk.
edit: I use FF for anyone wondering

I don't watch YT on pc anymore, only on my phone (ReVanced) and sometimes on SmartTubeNext on ATV. No issues on either.
Last time i checked on Brave i didn't see any ads, don't know if it still the same or it changed..

YouTube's warning showed up again, but after purging the cache and updating, it then reloaded fine.

Google/YouTube has decided to go to war and a war they've already lost.

Had to update uBO again today and I guess it's gonna be like this, but it just takes a few secs and then the videos are ad-free again.

This is a pointless "war."

they won't give up until we give them money, we won't stop until they shut up, WE CAN NOT LET THEM WIN (i don't use grammarly for this reason i'd sound like some fancy fool saying cannot, suck my balls grammarly)

The fact they can detect if we use ad-blockers mean they've invaded our privacy as they did not ask for our consent, and if they do and we decline then... You know the answer, but it's more straightforward.
