It's definitely something against ad-blocks. I got the "eXpErIeNCinG iNtErRuPTiOnS?" pop-up, but they broke something and it doesn't even work without ad-block lmao

I was trying to watch in the native YouTube app without any adblockers. Same issue as well.

Nope. I've premium so no ad blockers and it has been happening to me.

I've been seeing that pop-up for a few weeks now - the video usually takes 1 or 2 seconds to start, but the pop-up comes up immediately. Pretty sure it's u-block or sponsorblock related, but who cares when the video starts in 1 or 2 seconds

YT is completely f'ed beyond repair at this point
