The UBO guys have recommended turning off other plugins (obviously, start by turning off everything, then turn stuff on slowly until you find what is conflicting).
Oh, and make sure you’re on Firefox, not any chromium based browser (Edge, Chrome, Opera, Brave etc).
I’ve also seen suggestions that you should try removing any custom filters (can’t remember if that’s direct from the UBO guys or not)
That would just put an undue burden on the places that host the blocklists, for no good reason. Purge is something that only needs to be done manually in particular cases like this one.
It’s being discussed as a solution to counter the changes Google is making on a daily basis, so that sounds like it’s going to be needed moreso going forward.
Not everyone would want the cache cleared all the time. Cache is useful, it prevents you from reloading everything every time.
Yeah I understand how cache works and it’s benefits, but my point was, if the only way to fix the issue is to clear the cache, and if changes are coming down daily that requires you to clear the cache daily so you don’t see commercials, that they might as well automate that.
That if you do not want to see commercials you lose the benefits of having a cache, basically.
Go to settings. Go to Filter Lists. Click purge all caches. Click update now.
That’s it, this message should disappear entirely.
I think there is going to be a time when ublock alone cannot simply program their way out of this, they will need help eventually from a completely different approach like anti ablock killers or some other app that hide the blocker itself from detection
If you’re using UBlock Origin do the following:
Go to settings. Go to Filter Lists. Click purge all caches. Click update now.
That’s it, this message should disappear entirely.
What youtube is trying to achieve is technically impossible, unless they merge the advertisements into the videos.
don’t give them ideas
It’s already possible to block those with Sponsorblock.
Firefox already has a plugin called “Youtube Enhancements” which includes “sponsor block” – it skips ad embedded in the video.

What you’re saying is already very possible. Twitch is at the forefront of fighting adblockers and they’re constantly adding new ways to serve ads.
Realistically speaking I think YouTube has been only tolerating ad blockers and will start rolling out new methods next year.
There are twitch specific ad blocks that have worked for about a year. It’s pretty seamless.

That’s probably because the streamers you watch don’t run them.

It worked for me but minutes later it started appearing again

UBlock should just add code that automatically does that every time you start the browser, or daily.
