If you’re using uBlock Origin. Go to “Filter Lists” and Purge All Caches. That may help.

I just did the zap element thing on that warning. So far so good, except you can't scroll down.

I see this as an absolute win, since that means you don't have to read YouTube comments.

I occasionally see ads on Youtube. I'm not sure if this is related.

Can we pin this?

...temporarily it might help

I imagine they'll eventually find a way to prevent us from blocking ads. Twitch TV for example has found some ways to make adblock useless.

It's a shame, and it's really just a side effect of google racing to the bottom of the adspace game. If ads weren't as cheap as they are today, they wouldn't be trying to maximize the amount of users who are forced to see advertisements.

Someone will create an extension to mute the ad and overlay it with suitably timed bite sized cat videos.

Oh, that's just brilliant! Instead of being interrupted by intrusive ads, I'm seeing videos of fluffy cats doing adorable and funny stuff all the time.
