I gave up and got premium. It actually works out because we've cancelled Disney+ and Paramount+ and switched from the Spotify family plan to the Youtube Premium family plan and we're saving money, but I'm annoyed that I've resorted to this.

I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn't see it popup it was still there.

Purge YouTube cookies and site data, log in again and see if it works

I had this too, only thing that worked was clearing cookies and site data of YouTube, then logging in again. Another browser on the same account with the same uBlock settings worked the whole time, so I guess it's "device" bound not account bound. Since the cookie purge I don't even get the AdBlock warnings anymore.

Revanced still works, not using it is just silly.
