I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in several years. Doubt I'll ever see one.
Haven't seen an anti-adblock message yet, and I block ads in all sorts of ways across my devices.
lol, good luck with that Google
with FF and ublock i can watch yt as always. Never got the poup. But as of today, the youtube page is just blank. I can search and watch anything, but the start-page is blank. (no account)

No they don't.
I got fed up with this shit and invested a bit of time into getting a working Premium Family plan through a cheap country (Ukraine is about $4 per month). I invited my whole family (parents included) so essentially 6 people have an ad-free YouTube now for less than $1 each (per month). I assume that's still less than what they have gotten by serving us a shit ton of ads. And I am rid of that cat and mouse game for a while.

Let the blocking war commence. Beligerents are referred to as Blockheads.
Well uh... Whatever they're doing ain't working for me, because I'm yet to see one of these popups.
Switched to FreeTube. Problem solved.
