If you're using UBlock Origin do the following:

Go to settings. Go to Filter Lists. Click purge all caches. Click update now.

That's it, this message should disappear entirely.

What youtube is trying to achieve is technically impossible, unless they merge the advertisements into the videos.

It's already possible to block those with Sponsorblock.

Firefox already has a plugin called "Youtube Enhancements" which includes "sponsor block" -- it skips ad embedded in the video.

It does that with user input though.

What you're saying is already very possible. Twitch is at the forefront of fighting adblockers and they're constantly adding new ways to serve ads.

Realistically speaking I think YouTube has been only tolerating ad blockers and will start rolling out new methods next year.

There are twitch specific ad blocks that have worked for about a year. It's pretty seamless.
