Youtube is telling me daily that they’ll soon disable my youtube because I have an ad blocker. Still waiting for it to actually happen.

Same here. And I’m waiting for them to finally do it because it’ll free up so much of my time. I might start reading books again.
Also, it’s the last Google-service I’m using. So, banning me from it will allow me to finally delete my Google account.

I’ve been using Ublock origin for years and I’ve never seen a message like that

I don’t even login so I don’t know what they are going to disable.

correct me if I’m wrong, but I think ublock origin updates quickly enough to remove these notifications before most users see them

It often does, yeah. Not always though. I got one of the adblock warnings last night, and it refused to play the video. I fixed it by heading into ublock settings and manually updating. It always makes me laugh how rapidly the ad-blocker arms war progresses

Same here. I started seeing them this week.

Same. The last time I saw an YouTube ad was around 2015.
