Not exactly an original opinion but I hate this. I watch ads on my Roku app, I watch them on the mobile app, can't they just let it go on web browser? This just wreaks of greed
Every report i've passed claims yt is running in the reds for years, assuming this is true i can understand it.
But i'm still very happy adblock works for me on pc, the ads i get on tv are too many, too often.

What happen if you simply use opera or brave? The default anti tracking functionality normally triggers these protections, it blocks you just for browsing a certain browser? Without even having any adblock plugin

Just saw the "will be blocked after 3 videos" for the first time" (I was only seeing the generic warning so far). Updated filters and it went away.
I recently stumbled upon this post; seems like filing a complaint to said entity is something you can do if you're in the EU. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to. The fella over there has even provided the text he's sent. If what is said is true and it's indeed illegal for YouTube to show such prompts (and if that entity receives enough complaints), they might be forced to withdraw them (unless they're using some legal loophole already).

don't know why nobody mentioned this but opening each video in new private tab works just fine
Fuck YouTube
Same story, different day.
That too. There's. New dystopian Rayman universe show on Netflix rn.
I gave up and got premium. It actually works out because we've cancelled Disney+ and Paramount+ and switched from the Spotify family plan to the Youtube Premium family plan and we're saving money, but I'm annoyed that I've resorted to this.

Do you need to be signed in to Youtube to get this?
Interesting question I'm genuinely curious think I'll experiment that
