YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
Just use newpipe. It’s youtube without the ads.
Doesn’t have casting support, but it allows you to download the videos. You can also listen/download to the audio of videos, without fetching the video.
@beatniak@blank_sl8 recently many yt-dlp User Interfaces stopped working, I couldn’t download certain videos. So maybe the cat and mouse is about to begin.

Newpipe will probably be blocked as well if youtube is doing this. Honestly not sure why youtube hasn’t blocked yt-dlp and others already.
