Oh no, anyway.

Is this a rule for an adblock extension? What does it pick out?

It gets rid of the nag screen so you can just watch the video. For uBlock Origin, it's a bit crude, may affect other bits of interface, I also use the Enhancer for YouTube plug-in for Firefox which is really useful.

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

It'll work until they get annoyed and do what Hulu and Twitch does and bake it into the player. Then we're kinda fucked.

I quite easily removed it with uBlock using block element, but the video is still paused.

I guess this is a similar solution?
