It's been doing that for a while now for me. They catch up to the blockers and then the blockers catch up and then...
Refresh a few times and you'll likely get past it.

I am thinking this has something to do with it. Apparently uBlock is so efficient, Google needs to kill it...

I am using Brave, so YouTube does not want you to use an ad blocker but has ads for ad blockers.

I deactivated uBlock and installed Ghostery. ad-free youtube is back... for now.
I use Firefox with Ghostery and uBlock origin and have had no issues. It wasn't until I went to YouTube on my work PC, with no blockers, that I realized how many ads there were, and how many of them are extreme click bait bullshit.

Getting comfortable
Same happened today. I will install Ghostery and deactivate Ublock for a while.
Never had any problems with ads, but with "continue playback?" popup
Started happening to me today. I'm using Brave and I have Shields enabled for YouTube. No ads yesterday and then today I started getting the ad block message from YouTube. I had to disable Shields to watch videos and I have no other ad block extensions installed. Frustrating for sure.
Ghostery extension has been working for me so far.

I get the ads on youtube when watching it on my fire TV. If I watch my exact same favorites on my Mac using Brave, I get zero ads. I'll binge watch on my mac, until my legs start going to sleep, then I will transition to my easy chair.
Given how cheap computers are on ebay-- I have one on every TV in the house for ad-free youtube and "pirate" streams of sports so I don't need to spend money on ridiculous cable.
When using Ghostery, I would assume Brave Shields are disabled for YouTube. Correct?
