I've read where YT is targeting people who "have accounts," so if you simply log off then the warnings disappear, but then I won't have access to whatever channels I have saved, so that's not a good suggestion. I have found a couple of coding suggestions for use in Ublock Origin or the Brave browser, but I wanted to get ya'alls opinion about this. So far, the UBlock Origin coding doesn't seem to work. The jury is out on Brave.
If, at the end of the day, YT blocks me cuz I won't disable my adblocker, then I'll do as I do other websites that block me cuz I have an adblocker, I just won't go there anymore, but this, again, censorship at its tyrannical worst.
YouTube should offer a "Premium Light" version where you can eliminate the ads, but you can't download the videos or do certain special features. And charge only US$5.99/month for this version.
All BS. They can show ads. They just get more money for targeted ads that the ad blockers stop. They don’t need to know who I am to show effective ads.
I run firefox with uBlock Origin (default settings) and Privacy Possum
When first saw the popup I was able to click thru and refresh to get past it.
Then a few days later that stopped working.
So I moved to using FreeTube an open source desktop youtube client. That worked (still works)
Then I noticed on youtube.com, that I could get through again with a refresh or two.
So it appears they are experimenting with different techniques.
Not just youtube but I’ve run into several sites that do this
After I accessed it, I turned the blocker back on.
