Hi, I have the same problem.
It seems that, YOUTUBE, did something to annoy ad blocker users.
Personally, I’m waiting for a solution from BRAVE…
We all need to understand this is like a war: I made a better weapon and you made a better shield and start again…

I noticed today on my laptop that youtube take a long pause before each video now, then displays an Ad.
One workaround - If I refresh the page while it is pausing, it plays immediately, no Ads!
Another workaround - if I log out of YouTube, then I get no ads at all, no pausing, no problems whatsoever.
Still another workaround - no problems at all on my Android phone, even when logged in!
not a solution, just Youtube didn’t mess with it yet …

They don’t work for me, I get a warning that I can’t use adblockers.
I have none installed, I hope Brave can make another fix!

Same here, adblock isnt working. The issue happened ~10-30 minutes ago, since then, youtube isnt working.

Same problem, youtube is blocking me on brave saying I can’t use adblockers
Same problem here, “Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service”

same for me 289wk. Brave was working fine on you tube late last night no problems. But this morning I got a notice I have to unblock ads on you tube. I also notice my local digital paper will not even let me see the main page unless I allow their ads, and when looking at instructions to unblock ads, the procedure for Brave was specifically mention which I had never seen, anywhere.

An update -Brave/youtube still works fine on my Android, no ads, no issues.
But it’s much worse no on laptop. Refreshing doesn’t fix the problem and even choosing “allow YoutTube ads” doesn’t work!
If I turn off Brave shields in Youtube on my laptop, I can get the video to play, but an Ad immeditately plays - for an Adblock software company!! 
Same here. Brave is not blocking Youtube anti-adblock anymore. I switched to Brave because of effective pop-up and anti-adblock blocking.
