YT just gave me the banner that I think you got. It blocked one video with a message with no option to click X.

It turns out, I was running an ad blocker (UBlock). I was forced to disable it, in order to watch YT.

I never logged into my YT account, though, so YT also must be blocking people who don’t have accounts.

The folks at YT, if what I've read is true, are constantly changing their algorithms to find the best method to block folks from using ad blockers. Several other folks have also said that they don't log in and still get the banner.

What I've taken to doing is 1). creating another account (which sometimes works), and 2). deleting cookies. I got the "three strikes and I'm out" banner yesterday and it disappeared after I cleared cookies, cache and browsing history.

Try option #2 and see what that does for you.

Oh, and try FreeTube, see how that works for you. I’m testing it out now.
