So apparently there are two phases: first, a pop-up that tells you addblocker is forbidden. But if you go long enough without caring, the the message is out instead of the video.

It is based on the account. So if you open the video in another account, it works, and it also work in a private tab (I need to double check for this one).

So there's an opportunity for anyone looking to get a chunk of Youtube's market share, in other words. 🤔

Peertube is eagerly awaiting a proper community.

Why am I not having any issues blocking ads in YouTube? I use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

Oddly enough YouTube only seems to be ramping up its antiadbpocker campaign on their desktop version. The mobile version of the site works fine without ads.

I think it's weird that I haven't ran into these ads yet

I've exported my subscriptions and imported them in FreeTube. Seems to work even better since it doesn't try to hide videos in my subscription list.

I'm using the Piped YT frontend on Firefox with uBlock and I've not once seen any add pop up. I don't have a Google account but I added a bunch of rss-feeds to my Thunderbird, so I get a message when my favorite creators make a video. This way I'm not bothered by any stupid Google algorithm. Goes to show, YT is best consumed without an account.

What has Mr. Jeremy got to do with this?

I started using freetube on my computer to play around with and while it's definitely still a work in progress in some senses, it does provide a neat experience.
