Youtube has added a new “feature” that blocks users with adblockers from viewing videos. How do I get around this while still blocking ads? I currently use uBlock Origin on firefox.

      i always use their latest nightly build, so maybe that helps. also i generally don’t watch youtube a lot, so my ip probably didn’t get flagged yet

        I also do this. If yt-dlp keeps failing, change the VPN location or download the latest build and it works.
