YouTube ad blocker problem

I don't use an ad blocker and the YouTubes keeps giving me this screen. I've reported it to You Tube with no success. Are they toying with me to get me to buy the ad-free version?

Huh. I get it too, but I do run an ad blocker. I assumed I got it because they could tell (and yes, they can tell). But if you get it too, without running an ad blocker, I have to assume they're just lazily shotgunning that complaint at people. YouTube definitely is on a tear to get more people paying though. I'm not going to pay them for content they had no hand in creating. If they get too annoying, there are other streaming services. None of it will last forever, and there is always something new.

I've been using AdBlock Plus for quite a while now. Started getting that sheet from YT as well. I just updated to the latest version and POOF...YT ad blocking notifications went away. AdBlock Plus is free.

I installed Brave with some success , it speed up the adds so there is a slight glitch and they are gone
