Ublock Origin literally works fine for youtube. If you ever receive a warning like this just clear your cache and refresh your filters.
I've seen in the news that this is an international small test that YouTube is trying out on the market to see if people will tolerate it. The best advice I can give is to stop using YouTube immediately if you see even a hint of this. Hopefully it will pass. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/youtube-testing-three-strikes-rule-to-block-users-with-ad-blockers
you can also use the element zapper on the popup and never have to worry about it again
I use the element zapper but it still pauses every video couple seconds in and breaks scrolling completely
The zapper doesn't always work, it's great but not a 100% guarantee
