UPDATE 2
It seems that starting today, uBlock Origin is working to combat this Youtube Block. Mine started working again! Lets all thank the devs of UBO for fighting this fight!
UPDATE
So as new info comes out, I’ll be posting it here. It seems as if this Rollout Has Several Parts.
Part 1
You get a popup message over top of your video, blocking the screen:
This is the first sign. If you see this popup AND are logged into a YouTube account, your account has been selected.
At this stage you can likely close or block these messages with an adblocker.
Part 2
This message will change, indicating that you have 3 remaining videos to watch without ads.
Will insert photo once one has been found
At this stage your adblocker will imminently stop working in 3 videos time.
Personally using Firefox + uBlock Origin and tweaking filters and updates does not even fix it.
Part 3
None of the video loads now, everything looks blank.
At this stage you must tred new ground to avoid ads. I have posted methods in the comments. If you want to bypass this end page, read down there.
End of Update
YouTube has started rolling out anti-adblock to users inside the United States, which means that they are preparing to roll this out to the entire country. Personally, I have been blocked already. I want to gauge how common this occurrence is.

You can save comments too.

Just upvote or boost? Aren’t you having to go to your profile to find it either way?

Looks like you comment more than you boost though.

They are on kbin which doesn’t support saving comments (yet).
I feel dumb, do I need to do anything else besides pasting it to my rules > temporary rules > save?
This has not worked for me.
Doing the lord’s work. Thank you!
