There’s a popup that YouTube has started showing these days that tells you “AdBlockers are illegal. Stop using them” or something to that effect. This blocks that popup from appearing.
Somehow I still haven’t seen that message despite also using uBlock and Firefox. Perhaps I’m just further down the line and Google will eventually come for me too, but I wonder if my DuckDuckGo and Privacy Badger extensions may also have something to do with it.
I keep getting that pop-up, I have had ublock installed for years. I haven’t done anything special to unlock and just refresh the page and it goes away.

Are adblockers even illegal? I didn’t think it was.
I guess it’s against YouTube’s terms and conditions.
No. It’s up to the browser (and even above it, the user) how the data is displayed.
Well, that’s pretty dumb and ruins my good times. Glad people are cracking down on it
