"Disable adblocker"-thing on YouTube is back (fedia.io)

Hey everyone,

since YouTube started annoying us with their “disable ad blocker” thing, I managed to get rid of it by uBlock Origin and a Tampermonkey script. Yet, the stupid popup is back. To everyone who's gotten rid of it until now: What did you do? Can you point me to the resources you used? It's annoying!

Not everyone has the time, energy, or even the knowledge needed to understand what the scripts do. I think most internet users don't even know what is a function and how it looks like, and they don't want to change after getting home from the 8 or more hour work and still needing to do house chores, bills and whatever.

None of which is relevant to the comment I made. But I contend that the only thing needed to understand scripts and the functions contained is a web browser and the ability to read. I was pointing out that the advice to let someone else do it for you isn't actually safe.
