[01:18:54] <Bytram> Hmmm, I am getting notices from YouTube:
[01:19:00] <Bytram> BEGIN
[01:19:08] <Bytram> Video player will be blocked after 1 video
[01:19:08] <Bytram> It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback will be blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.

[01:19:08] <Bytram> Try YouTube Premium
[01:19:10] <Bytram> Not using an ad blocker? Report issue
[01:19:14] <Bytram> END
[01:20:01] <Bytram> I use Ubuntu w/ two ad blockers:
[01:21:38] <Bytram> 1.) NpScript 11.4.28
[01:22:22] <Bytram> 2.) uBlock Origin
[01:22:35] <Bytram> NB:
[01:24:49] <Bytram> I *can* use: yt-dlp from the command line with no complaints?!!!
[01:26:46] <Bytram> Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can could continue to use YouTube w/o the complaints?
[01:31:01] <Bytram> It seems that a variation on yt-dlp should be possible, but I don't know how. Does anyone have a way to continue to use YouTube as before without the "complaints"?
[01:31:35] <Bytram> i.e.: Help please!

[03:20:49] <Runaway1956> Bytram, I'm seeing mixed results across my computers. Which browser do you use? I get best results with Firefox, on both Linux and on Windows.
[03:21:37] <Runaway1956> Any version of Chrome is rooted in Google's own Chrome, even de-googled Chromium, so they start with a disadvantage
[04:03:08] <chromas> After a couple seconds I get a close button on the pop-up and then I can still watch the videos ad-free

[11:06:56] <Ingar> Bytram: I got those youtube messages as well, it seems they have stopped for now
[11:07:11] <Ingar> can still watch youtube through the browser, maybe ublock fixed it
[11:08:01] <Ingar> if yt blocks me, well then I won't be watching youtube will I
[13:01:48] <Bytram> Runaway1956: chromas: I use Firefox on Ubuntu. At first, I too got dismissable warnings that I seemed to be using an adblocker. Then the warnings changed to be I only had a "few more" (don't remember the exact number) of remaining times that I could proceed to view videos with an adblocker in place. Now is seems to be blocking *ALL* attempts to view videos on YouTube with an adblocker in place. Yet, I *just* tried to use yt-dlp to
[13:01:48] <Bytram> download a blocked a blocked video and it succeeded!
[13:03:49] <Bytram> So, it seems to me that the correct incantation of YouTube with some kind of bypass should be possible.
[13:19:37] <Runaway1956> hmmmmm - Bytram, with Ublock Origin, can you right click on that element containing the warning, and block it? I haven't tried it, maybe it will work, maybe it won't.
[13:20:07] <Runaway1956> I think maybe noscript should have the same sort of mechanism to block it
[13:22:47] <Bytram> Hmm, Interesting idea! It seems so obvious that that should not work, but who knows?
[13:24:03] <Bytram> I can't help but think that there should be an add-on to bypass all this.
[13:29:51] <Bytram> So far, I have had no success :/
