My buddy reported that he started getting blocked using uBlock starting today.

I've never had any of the problems, but I have some caveats that may be helpful:

1. I live in Korea
2. I use brave browser with no uBlock as it's unnecessary
3. I also use NextDNS at the router level.

#3 seems to be of no consequence as I tried using vanilla Chrome and ads played while randomly testing videos

That leads me to believe #2 or #1 is preventing ads.

I didn't disable NextDNS since it failed at #3, and I haven't tried VPNing into a U.S. endpoint out of laziness.

Either #1, or #2 is preventing ads ... I'm inclined to believe it is #2, Brave browser, that is successfully blocking ads; even without VPN, with NextDNS, I was still getting ads in vanilla Chrome.

I think there is something in Brave browser that is currently overlooked.

I hope it helps someone

Brave luckily do not have those problems. Edit: to be more precise, yesterday this appeared, and then recordings stopped, but only with a refreshing returned to normal, today this did not appear and the recordings work normaly.

People are going to throw a brick at me, but I’m using brave and have never seen this.

what idiots watch Youtube whilst being logged in?

This news is so fscking old. Why do we keep seeing it repeating here?

YT . Block antiblock. its all out intrusive. Stop using, next post.

Stop fscking reposting this shit that is literally 2 months old. Just because you "only just saw it" doesnt mean your 2 second GOOGLE would have told you everyone else knows ffs, and its been rolled out.
