Makes sense. Youtube kept blocking me because it detected ad blocking mechanisms. Being stubborn I would simply reload the page and clicked the x button before it had a chance to load up the blocking code and then the video would play fine.

After a while youtube gave up and no longer tries to force me to uninstall the ad blocking mechanisms.

That or the ad blocking mechanisms got better.

I have a similar experience. Though for me i didn't evade them, i just didn't visit for a ~week. When i eventually tried again, suddenly it wasn't a problem again.

Wondered if i was part of some a/b and they rolled back? no idea. Either way i'll happily drop YT if they try that shit without giving me a sane "no ad" tier lol.
