Apparently today is the day. YouToob has been talking about blocking ad blockers for a while, and yesterday everything was smooth... but as of this evening, it is complaining. I don't actually have an ad blocker running, but I use Vivaldi and Opera most of the time, and they have some ad-blocking features built in that work to some extent, even if not fully.
Ironically, YT has for a LONG time accepted payments from ad-blocker companies to sell those tools!
Looks like it will be an adventure now to find out how to view YT enjoyably. I like to have a balance, and not too much insanity with the interruptions. Will have to see if there's a way to still achieve that. Experiments ahead!
