    Somehow I’ve been fine? Is my setup the chosen one or it just hasn’t come down to me/my region yet?

      It’s sent out in waves.

      First escalation, you just a warning with an “X” that you can close.

      Second escalation, you will be the same warning but without the “X”. You can of course just block the element.

      Third escalation, you get the “3 videos” message. After this, YouTube no longer serves you videos. You can get around this by logging out and using incognito mode on Firefox. There are other ways too if you go browse some ublock origin communities.

        I’ve been wondering about that too, after seeing this post I watched a 10+ minutes video and it was fine, but I’m not… on an average setup.

        So for the moment I’m just going to suppose it’s not active for me yet. Thanks.
