Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can't play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I'd really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

can only assume you exclusively consume your entertainment on subway platforms

After Google killed all the competition with ad-free unpaid service for so long. Market manipulation with bait and switch.

but I like to support creators and live a comfortable life

Like I said - you're self righteous. You have no clue how much the creators and web as a whole lost due to the greed and treachery of this horrible company.

I’m not worth your top-shelf stuff, trust me. Save it for your English teacher.

You are not worth anything. So keep patting yourself on the back.
