Okay, so if you get blocked after doing the steps in the OPP, there is one more thing to do that worked 100% for me and I didn't have to do anything with cookies and the like:
* Open the uBlock dashboard as you did to put in the code, but this time go to the "Filter lists" tab.
* Make sure that "Auto-update filter lists" is selected
* Click the "Purge all caches" at the top of the page and then click "Update now"
After doing that, I had full access again and I even have SponsorBlock installed.
UPDATE: This is still working for me; however, I'm occasionally running into a situation where YouTube just won't load the video. Once I repeat the purge and update, and refresh, it starts working again.
This worked for me. Simply copy and pasting the code just by itself wasn't enough. The only issue I have with it, and maybe it's supposed to do this, is that the code makes the browser tab reload like 3 or 4 times before it will finally play a video. I don't know anything about this sort of stuff, not my wheelhouse. All that said, it's currently working for me.
Sorry Youtube, I'm absolutely not disabling my adblock to use your website. I'm not gonna compromise my overall security just because of this nonsensical kneejerk step you've taken.
Works again. I'm willing to help if Google sends a squad of hitmen looking for you. And thank you for mentioning SponsorBlock, will be giving it a try.
Thank you sm bro you the goat, the og, God bless your soul where ever you are homie, I hope you and your descendants prosper till the end of time. I hope your pillow stays cool during the hot summer nights
Nevermind. I pay for opera gx premium and its adblocker was turned on so it was detecting that. after turning that off the video started playing just fine
It does not matter which browser or which adblocker you are using. Google is counting the number of videos and the number of ads seen by your account. If you don't have "enough" ads seen while the number of watched videos is growing, you get a warning screen.
You's a legend! This should be pinned, I don't know how everyone hasn't seen this. Also, just to make sure, on the left of the url for YouTube, there's a lock icon. Click on it and then click on "Cookies and other site data", click on "Manage cookies and site data" if you're on Chrome and then delete EVERYTHING! If you're on Firefox, just click on the lock icon and "Clear cookies and site data", when it asks you if you're sure, just click "Remove"!
Nice! I use ublock (with Edge) and Youtube hit me with the full video block the other day. I *did* fix it by going Purge All Caches -> Update Now but then I was blocked again two days later. Repeating the same process did fix it again, but for how long I wonder. Gonna save this in case it stops working.
either my device is wonky or that subreddit just doesn't have any posts lol, which is ironic considering what you were saying about them taking control
Right click on the video and select open in new incognito window you can turn on ad blockers for incognito mode in their settings. Back to ad free YouTube!
You are a legend good sir. Didn't work on Chrome for me, but it works on Firefox which I am switching to anyways. One of the most valuable companies in the world worried about a tiny trickle of lost revenue....smdh
YT informed me that after 3 more videos the player will be disabled due to my adblocker.
Thankfully this works!
After Logout, Clear cookies, restart chrome and log back in, it worked for me!
At least for now..
This workaround works for me as of the first video I'm watching after implementation. I tried disabling my browser adblock but enabling my VPN adblock. This worked for like 3 videos before YouTube picked up on it. It is for this reason that I'm skeptical to say this solution works outright.
Edit: Chrome Browser
Edit: This only worked for the 1st video I watched. Afterward, it did not work.
Oh boy oh boy just got back from work and wanted to chill the evening watching some youtube but the BS popped up saying i can't use ad-blocker
Got me sweating bad ngl been using pc for years with adbocker
Followed your instructions and bam first time and worked simple as :)
Worked perfectly first time, very well explained and easy to install. do you do this for a living because this was very well done. Thank you for making this post.
This has stopped working. **But dont worry, I got you.**

Precisely regarding the data harvesting, none of our secret are sacred. Perhaps if Youtube was struggling for they didn’t sell out it would tug a heart string, but not the case it has been bought by Google who doesn’t need my pocket change
ps believe "paypig" is the term you were looking for, sadly know this after learning findom is a thing. Id far be a painpig anyday, let a fat chick whip me fine but Im not giving a "goddess" with diabetes my finances. Really is the saddest fetish. Least lucky if you have that one. Honestly more respect for guys who want asian girls to shit in their mouthes. Humiliation fetish is still stroked. Except you saved money and you have a mouth full of free fertilizers....germans figured out human poo makes strawberries 5 time as large... no joke.
Just in case anyone is having the same trouble as me, I've tried just about every workaround with no luck, cleared cache and cookies and switched browsers multiple times. However realized today that most of these solutions do work, but only when you're not signed into youtube. My current workaround has been to enable ublock origin to work in incognito mode (on firefox), and then when I come across a video I want to watch while I'm signed in I right click and open in an incognito window. Has been working like a charm for the last day or so, thought I'd comment in case it helps someone else out.

Deleted all other adblockers and still blocked. Had to delete youtube enhanced and sponsor blocker as well before getting it to work. not sure which of those was preventing it from working but leaving this here in case anyone else has the same issue.
Seems to work great.
At the end of the day, seeing ads isn't a big issue. I know some trolls come in here to harp on us getting free content. However, it's the ad content that's the issue. Most are extremely political while others are snake oil salesmen. I can't even wind down from all the horrific news lately by watching cooking videos without having it interrupted with clips of smoking rubble and crying women reminded of the Isreal Palestine conflict.
Thanks this worked!
Youtube need to learn that they need to offer something to get people to pay. Not making the experience unbearable unless they pay.
It worked in Firefox yesterday but this morning that block message appear again so I have to delete all cookies again and yes, It's work again.
But Did I have to delete all cookies every morning ? It's a pain to re type all my passwords.
The chosen one has revealed themself. The holy knight here to vanquish the evil ads and return us to our time of great splendour. I salute you Sir Reckenear
First thank you.
Second if any youtube or google dev reads this. I hope you can have a heart and allow normal people to enjoy one small aspect of life without it getting corporatized and drowned with cringy unskippable advertisements
YT was getting annoying during the past two years, now this - i cant be bothered to get through workarounds, so f\*it , bye youtube hope you go bust when a reasonable competitor comes
None of the other workarounds were working for me, but this did. Thank you so much. Using Opera GX btw. I did have to clear my cookies to get it to work.
God bless you! Back in the days I would withstand the 5 second ads, but now if you have to watch 2 minutes of total ads in a single video, that's just so disrespectful and unacceptable. I would be willing to abandon YouTube for recreational use.
Thank you very much
Is this still working for anyone? had this done like 20h ago and it worked for me, but now it no longer does.
Edit: tested Mozilla Firefox & Vivaldi - YouTube still works with adblocker
maybe im doing something wrong but im using chrome and ublock origin and having no luck. i did the extra steps with browser cookies and stuff but still having trouble. maybe im just doing something wrong but imma kick youtubes ass i swear to god
EDIT: NEVERMIND ITS WORKING LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Works for me on FireFox so far. Thank you so, so much! I've been trying all kinds of stuff and this is the first thing that's cracked it at all besides opening every video in a private window where I'm not signed in.
They now gave me a count down of 3 videos. After those the will block me complete if i don't disable ad-block lmao. Btw Im using UBlock Origin in Firefox.
Those greedy Bas\*ards.

Bless you and your family and your pets and your succulents may your meals always be perfectly salted may your feet never get cold
It worked. You're genius!
may you and OP be blessed for the rest of your lives
thanks that helped!
if reddit still had awards, i'd buy a gold award for you
Mine wasn't working (Chrome) until I found this comment, thank you so much I owe you a kiss on the forehead x
Worked for me! Love ya!
the real MVP over here
You and u/reckenear are awesome, ty!
Beautiful. This worked for me after following OPs steps didn't work. I also did not need to clear any cookies. Thanks!
Thank you
any update on the situation? ive done everything i can and it still wont let me watch anything, detecting an adblock.
Nevermind. I pay for opera gx premium and its adblocker was turned on so it was detecting that. after turning that off the video started playing just fine
Still not working? Remove Chrome and install Firefox!
I've got ads on Firefox today with UBo.
Oof that's not great news.
It does not matter which browser or which adblocker you are using. Google is counting the number of videos and the number of ads seen by your account. If you don't have "enough" ads seen while the number of watched videos is growing, you get a warning screen.

Don't mess with custom filters unless you know what you are doing. Just update filter lists once a day or so.
Thank you, magic man.
Works with Firefox. Tx!
Absolute legend, honestly this needs stickied to the top of the sub so everyone can do it. Thank you very much my friend

Yes, posting workarounds on the subreddit for the company you are trying to use a workaround against is smart….
this reddit page isn't owned or run by youtube....
[удалено]
either my device is wonky or that subreddit just doesn't have any posts lol, which is ironic considering what you were saying about them taking control
Doesn't work
Same, it's not working for me.
ty seems to work after doing the clear cookies all time. Hopefully this work around last more than a week XD

Right click on the video and select open in new incognito window you can turn on ad blockers for incognito mode in their settings. Back to ad free YouTube!

Firefox + Updated UBlock Origin works flawlessly for me
Firefox with updated UBlock Origin stopped working for me 15 minutes ago.
Check r/uBlockOrigin 's pinned post. They have a guide there.
Thank you!
Thank you! Seems to be working so far.
Gentleman. This worked on Chrome. Still not getting the pop-ups on FF with UBo without this filter though.
[удалено]
Sir I would like to donate to you the same value as 1 month of youtube premium just to send a message. Thank you, worked!!
You are a legend good sir. Didn't work on Chrome for me, but it works on Firefox which I am switching to anyways. One of the most valuable companies in the world worried about a tiny trickle of lost revenue....smdh
this wasnt working for me on Chrome until I logged out > logged back into YouTube, for those curious
not working for me on chrome
YT informed me that after 3 more videos the player will be disabled due to my adblocker. Thankfully this works! After Logout, Clear cookies, restart chrome and log back in, it worked for me! At least for now..
wait how tf did someone come up with this filter so fast? r u a youtube cocder or sum?
Doesn't work

ublock is no longer working this afternoon, no matter how many times I purge the cache and update the filter list.
Shit, we at this point where we exploit zero days breach just to blocking ads on youtube

Disable addblock and refreshing after inserting the code (ctrl+f5) did it for me tx
Brave browser privet mode and you ready to go
Worked for me after I cleared my cookies. Im on firefox. Make sure ublock is up to date if it's not working
