It seems like there's been a lot more websites that have been deploying anti-adware blocker software in the past few weeks. One that stands out in particular is called Admiral (see websites like GameRant for an example).

I have tried Adguard Plus and Rethink DNS (using the instructions from FMHY), and neither can prevent the popup that stops you from reading the site. I assume there's user scripts out there, but at this point, I don't even know what to search for on Greasyfork.

Have any of you figured out a workaround?

So far, DNS type blockers appear to be unaffected. I use adaway with magisk. In the other hand, I don't generally use my browser to watch videos. I use Newpipe.
