So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

    I’ve been wondering if it’s uBlock Origin or me not being part of the test yet. Sounds like the latter. Shit.

      Yeah I’ve had it sporadically happen to me but last night was the most effective. Fully updated Firefox and ublock on windows and I could only watch 3 videos before getting locked out.

      Previous to last night, I hadn’t seen the pop up for at least a week.

        I actually had it about 20 minutes ago. Forgot to post here. But when I Xed out of it, it played normally.
