I never browse yt on mobile and didn't realize how many goddamn ads there are. Start of the video, middle of the video, some unskippable, some a minute long... good grief. If this continues, I guess I won't be using YT.
3 strikes and what?
They'll ban you?

I get those occasionally when browsing with Brave. I just click through it and move on. The ads are ridiculous on that platform now.

I watch so much YouTube I buy the premium no ad plan. I seem to recall some kind of package with YT music when it got the Play Music migration from Android play store.

Lions 6-2 headed into the bye week. Kirk Cousins out for the year with torn Achilles. Packers and Bears suck. Exactly 30 years since their last division win...

It says my video player will be blocked. I thought I could fool it by switching to a different browser (Edge) where I'm logged off my Google/YT account. So, they can't track me as a registered user, but I still got the pop-up. I guess they could track the IP. Or, maybe they're just full of shit, but I'm not brave enough to test it. For now, I've updated my uBlock Origin and that seems to have fixed the issue.

I read somewhere, a tech site maybe, that YouTube was playing hardball with ad blocking
I don’t know I only check YouTube out if it’s a link someone posted or sent

Youtube is already losing value by the day with all their absurd censorship.
