i'd rather not use youtube than watch ads.
I have been adblocking on YouTube for as long as I remember. Personally I think it's unusable without an adblocker. What's the alternative? Because I am not suddenly going to pay for a platform that keeps getting worse all the time.
When ever I see someone using YouTube without an adblocker it looks like some cheap chinese knock-off or something. As someone who sees less ads than 99% of people I've genuinely became a bit oversensitive to them. Podcasts are the only thing I keep paying attention to despite them having ads which even then I always skip over. Other than that every online platform I use is ad-free and I don't watch TV or listen to radio either.
I like to listen to podcasts in the gym and I will interrupt my set to skip sponsors and ads. The enshittification on Spotify is particularly bad as they now play ads in addition to sponsorings for premium listeners.

Is "allowlist" the new word for whitelist?
Not really new, it's been around for about a decade. Otherwise: yes.

Which adblocker are you using? I am using Ublock Origins, Sponsorblock, RYD and Enhancer for YouTube. I will check later if I get the same message or not.
Seems like it's controlled test in different countries and segments. I (Europe) get this popup in Firefox, I also use pi-hole DNS and ublock origin.
Dies your PiHole block Youtube ads?
It doesn't because it can't the ads and videos are on the same domain now
Thanks, I thought so.
It does not. It can only block domains. Youtube ads use same domain as actual videos.
Thanks, I thought so.
I don’t need no stinky ad blocker! With a custom user stylesheet is enough.., that is, if you’re using something other than Chrome, because Chrome removed user stylesheets for “reasons”.
Reasons of adware
Reasons: "we don't like it when you try to slightly moderate our torrents of spam"
What country are you in? I wonder if they're rolling it out to smaller markets to see how much backlash they get.
Time to get a federated video hosting service scaled up ASAP. But who could afford the bandwidth and storage? We need a stable torrent-based streaming solution I suppose.
Is this real? The post title seems to imply it's something that might happen in the future?

I'll fucking use Vimeo if I have to.
I'm not sure if this works anymore but I saved this message a while back. If you get this pop-up then put this into your adblock custom rules and it should sort it out:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
How does YouTube know whether I'm blocking or not if it all happens at the client side?

You probably pay spotify premium
Personally I've never had a problem. However Newpipe seems borked of late, is it related?
Have you notice that lately if you're the history feature disabled it will refuse to show suggested videos? In the past you would still get suggested videos even with the view history disabled.
Looks like I'm about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.
Oh that’s sad.
Using ublock to block these notifications is a great feeling
Enjoy it then because ublock does nothing against this at the moment. If you don’t have it it’s because you’re not in the first waves.
