It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I'm finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I've got no idea when that'll become less reliable

Given the image I wonder if it's a server-side thing (at least if you're logged in). Though if the 3 videos thing is actually enforced I could see people playing long UHD+ videos (even on 1080p screens) or even keeping one video and re-watching (or scrubbing backwards, changing res down then back up etc) in protest.

Also really giving a reason to hoard content.

There are plenty of tools to get around news sites with "article limits", so I have some faith that someone will find a way around any kind of video limit as well.
