Not just nagging. I've been fully blocked. I guess my crime of watching videos to help with my college study was too much to bear for YouTube. I had to install a greasemonkey script to inject the embedded version to avoid the block.

That is interesting. I been using edge with ublock and pihole. Have not yet seen or been harassed by YT. I am based in US, not sure if it is region directed or being tested but still no notifications.

Interesting, it's just nagging for me.

Yeah, I think I'm a bit of a power user. I watch a lot of videos for class and projects. I blew through the nudging phase to the three strikes phase fairly quickly. I'd consider paying for it, but I think it's very overpriced, even for the student price. Spotify/Hulu combo is cheaper with a student discount than YouTube's, for comparison.
