youtube getting more aggressive.. i've got firefox and ublock but this shit is still coming up

Same story, different day.
That too. There's. New dystopian Rayman universe show on Netflix rn.
don't know why nobody mentioned this but opening each video in new private tab works just fine
Just saw the "will be blocked after 3 videos" for the first time" (I was only seeing the generic warning so far). Updated filters and it went away.
I recently stumbled upon this post; seems like filing a complaint to said entity is something you can do if you're in the EU. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to. The fella over there has even provided the text he's sent. If what is said is true and it's indeed illegal for YouTube to show such prompts (and if that entity receives enough complaints), they might be forced to withdraw them (unless they're using some legal loophole already).
Fuck YouTube
I gave up and got premium. It actually works out because we've cancelled Disney+ and Paramount+ and switched from the Spotify family plan to the Youtube Premium family plan and we're saving money, but I'm annoyed that I've resorted to this.
I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn't see it popup it was still there.
