same issue here, it just happened 30 minutes ago
nothing loads unless its a video I’ve already watched.
Youtube Studio and videos I’ve posted load for some reason though? no ads on them probably, how do i fix? ads are the worst.

I have been having a problem with YouTube lately. It’s not the adblockers violate YouTube’s terms of service message. However I get a different message that says " Experiencing interruptions? Find out why" And it delays the video for a few seconds before it starts. I’ve been hearing this is a fake interruption because they want you to turn off the adblocker. I don’t think this has been fixed for me. Is this problem YouTube account related? Have a screenshot of the issue too.

same problem I have is because of youtube if you click that message ( find out why) gonna show you about extensions , yep this is a hardcore game youtube vs adblockers

All we can do is wait for a fix.

All components are updated, Brave itself is updated but Youtube doesn’t even load with shields enabled. Deactivating the shields doesn’t help either.

deactivating shields does resolve the issue of YouTube not working at all, but ads still appear

The only thing that works for me to get past that fake load screen that says “Experiencing Interruptions” so far is to watch videos in a private window.

I do not have a Google eco-system account; and I only view YouTube as a sometime visitor. I have never needed “Shields Down” for using YouTube.

I use BB Private Browsing. Global Shields > JavaScript is blocked, but Site-Specific JavaScript is allowed. Global Shields > Cookies are allowed - except for third-party cookies.

Sometimes, I have to shift my VPN service connection . . .

YouTube works. Requires a willingness to be determined and have patience.

Same here. Seems that Google is targeting Brave users and the ad-blocker is not exactly one step ahead of them…

I’m facing the same problem—uBlock Origin isn’t working either.
