Looks like we have a fix in for this:
https://old.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1hinfh3/youtube_now_suddenly_blocks_me_for_using_brave/m31kcmw/

In brave://components force an update of Brave Ad Block Updater too Version: 1.0.9653 or better

Then refresh Youtube.com tabs (important). Let me know if it helps

Ensure no other adblocker extension is enabled.

It worked. I like Brave for its speed and also plays vids in 1080 and even 1440 something when Chrome was only doing 720.

lol. Honestly, youā€™ll get logged out when you clear cookies so it may not matter but doing it first and kind of leaving makes sure youā€™re not accidentally triggering again. But click on your profile picture or whatever in the corner to pull up the option to log out. Such as:

thanks! for some reason its working again so they must have gotten my premium sub.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your help!

Youtube may also be somehow factoring in the Brave agent string into their adblock detection.

If I change my agent to firefox (windows) using the developer tools (network tab, ā€œmore network conditionsā€ button) then it also works around the issue.

Thatā€™s it, the update 1.0.9653 solved the problem. Wasnā€™t my cookies or extensions as I suspected.

Dunno why Youtube is so set on making me watch ads. First ruleā€¦ if I see an advertisement for something, Iā€™ll never buy it. :stuck_out_tongue:

This worked wonders! Thanks!

Same problem, ā€œAd blockers violate YouTubeā€™s Terms of Serviceā€

this isnā€™t working anymore after signing in again
