I was using uBlock but I kept getting messages that said blockers were not allowed. Then they started requiring me to wait to get rid of the warning. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there another add-on I can install to defeat this?

All i read is that nobody will be watching all these ads and YouTube will have to shutdown.

I already stopped using YouTube on my tvs native interface without adblock after I saw several 1.5m ads
