The other day it prevented me from playing the video. However logging out was a cure for that. Also, reloading the page also seemed to make it go away.

I went to bed when I was on my last strike, next day it was back to normal.

As I said in the other thread, they will slowly over time increase the clampdown to annoy you into subscribing. I expect at some point you either watch all ads or the video simply won't work any more. I mean for R 71 it's a no-brainer.

If you can convince your parents to enrol in university, you can get it for even cheaper.

I would agree. But having struggled to keep up with rising costs had to cancel a couple of "small" accounts.
YouTube will be the last one though.

"Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service"
And yet we still have people in this forum who openly discuss circumventing these controls. Then in the same breath complain about dishonesty and corruption in our country.

Do yourself a fav and go anti DRM
Install Firefox and ublock for one you won't have ads in YouTube. In the long term, avoiding chromium based browsers will help fight against Internet explorer 2.0
We been here before....

I'm using Firefox with Ublock but it's been hit or miss. The ads are mostly blocked currently but sometimes the videos won't play properly. Meh

But you also earn in euroR72 pm, I wish... €12x20 is more like R240 pm here in the "first world"
R 240 in euro is pocket change, no?I wish they'd unbundle the music streaming and charge a lower fee for just YouTube.
You sound like someone who would have gone house to house in the bad old days of broadcast television, unmuted people's televisions, then forced them to watch all the adverts. Clearly all this advert avoidance is a gateway to stealing billions of taxpayer money.
Alphabet?
