Youtube Adblock-blocking is getting out of hand (kbin.social)

Youtube is now fully blocking me from watching videos if my adblocker is on. I use firefox with uBlock. I turned it off and then they claimed that I still had an adblocker on. After swapping my user agent to Chrome it started working again. Has anyone else have this happen to them?

This feels like they're trying to push people into using chromium based browsers.

Yes, I had the same issue. I am starting to move off of YouTube. I wish people would start to self-host, or P2P share their videos more if bandwidth cost is an issue...a few channels I watch however has telegram where they post their videos. So I usually just watch from there.
