Been experiencing intermittent frustration. Just last week, with uBlock origin installed, YouTube was preventing streaming almost every video I attempted to play. This week, have not received the ad blocker notification.

The recommendations I found yesterday when I first got the 3 video warning were to turn off all other adblockers (I also use the Enhancer for YouTube extension which has it's own adblocker that I disabled), go to the uBlock Origin settings and enable the Adguard - Other Annoyances and Adguard - Popup Overlays blocks, purge all caches, and then click Update Now to update the blocklists. It's worked for the time being.
ubo's been on point, I had to refresh stuff first few days but yeah haven't seen it in a few
Doesn't seem to nag or block if you use Youtube if you're not logged in, but then you have to cope with the horrendous videos that get recommended.
Interestingly, I've yet to run into this issue. Since I've bought plenty of videos from YouTube, maybe they're letting me off the hook?
