The filter list trick from ublock stopped working already in this case. This "weird work around" is a single script that blocks ads on youtube only via a tampermokey (greasemonkey fork) script. It doesnt register as an adblocker to youtube, so as far as they know, you have "whitelisted" ads.
It may indeed stop working at some point, but so may everything else. All warfare requires iteration, even something as tame as adblocking, so folk will iterate as always.
What i can say is that it worked immediately without issue, where both the ublock refresh trick and quad9s dns over https filtering did not. Its a perfectly reasonable option if the more commonly recommended ones are not viable, as was my case.
