You can block element on that pop-up with uBlock Origin, and it starts working again.
If you can't click anything, there's a transparent layer still in the way, so you may need to do a second block element (click anywhere and the entire screen should highlight).
Weird side effect is that the scroll stops working sometimes, but if you make the video full screen then back it fixes it.
There are a few browser extensions that force a scrollbar even on pages its disabled if you need to work around it.
Though not being able to scroll down to YouTube comments should be considered a blessing.
