What are people doing to get this message? I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in so long I can’t remember.

Don’t use the official app, use something like NewPipe or the equivalent on iPhone, on desktop use Firefox with uBlock origin (go into settings and enable filters at your leisure)
Get a VPN that has adblocking built in (I use Mullvad, I honestly don’t know how effective it is because I have other adblocking as well on top)
if you want to get fancy with your home network, use AdGuard on a raspberry pi or docker or whatever works best for you

They’re AB-testing it. Not everyone is getting these notifcations. I do on Firefox + uBlock Origin but it goes away for a while after I update the filters. I just need to do that several times a day

  Ive been using a combination of ublock origin and privacy badger. Set badger to strict blocking of any tracking from youtube and i have not seen an ad or adblock popup in a week or two now

I’ve never seen it despite doing nothing special beyond my normal ad blocking… it’s a partial rollout I think.

  yeah, though I’ve heard about it for weeks at this point only this morning I got the first pop-up, and it’s still the one I can just ignore

Download Videos with yt-dlp and watch them locally. Works perfectly so far

  One day they find a way to inject ads into the downloaded file, don’t worry.

    I’m shocked that they don’t always do this. I wrote software that spliced video segments without encoding at runtime like that years ago.

    I mean there are sponsors but you can just use sponsor block to not download those parts.

  Or just use Piped, Invidious or FreeTube. LibreTube or NewPipe on Android, Yattee with this guide on iOS.
