Not sure if ublock updated their blocking rules to bypass the block or youtube stopped the experiment - but starting yesterday, I'm no longer seeing any adblock warning which previously had started blocking me (as opposed to originally just nagging me to disable) from watching youtube videos.

I do wonder if the actual outcome of the experiment was increased rates of adblocking though - since every time it makes it into the news, more people are exposed to the idea it's even possible.

Aside, (cmd+l, cmd+c, cmd+shit+n, cmd+v, enter) is a pretty useful sequence to have muscle memory for to open the same page in incognito, which easily bypasses the block as well.
