Type "ublock origin YouTube" into google and look at the countless Reddit threads saying it no longer works.

For everyone including content uploaders.
What you need is more adverts so you can pay more money to all the biggest YouTubers for an exclusive deal.

Meh, never used to have adverts

They never used to pay for views either
Is that recently though? Sometimes Youtube changes things so it doesn't work until the list is updated.
It certainly does work at the moment.

Hmm I've been watching YouTube tonight without problem.

Meh, people used to upload content purely so it can get watched, not my fault they got greedy

Hasnt this happened a few times with streaming platforms, they try and fail against Twitch.
I use both uBlock Origin and Adblock for Youtube, can't say I've seen a single ad.
Social networks are one of those things where it kind of makes sense to have everyone under one roof, they don’t really work otherwise. Youtube is really just another social network these days.
The social networks that exist today have basically carved out a niche and play to that niche to make it hard for other to break into the market. It basically can be summed up as:
Twitch = steaming
Insta = where the kids hang out
Facebook = where the boomers hang out
Twitter = anyone with a public profile
Linked in = jobs
YouTube = video
Imgr = memes
Tik Tok = I don’t think anyone really knows where this came from and why it exists.

I try not to block ads on YouTube - I get a lot of value from it (not enough to pay for premium though sadly) and many of the content creators put revenue back into making better stuff.
But it is getting harder and harder to not do so - some videos are completely ruined by the sheer volume and nature of the ads - it is one thing that might ultimately be YouTube's undoing.

Every video is also sponsored also it seems these days.
There's a podcast I watch that had at least 4-6 sponsors in it and they stop the show midway through to do half the advertisement and it's also at the start. Usually ba good 6-10 minutes is taken up by their sponsors.
I pay for premium membership. So if it had adverts on top of the sponsors then I'd likely stop using it as much and never watch the podcast either.

From your comments in housing i did not expect you to be a communist suggesting all this regulation and government interfere.
Change your name to Comrade Sonny, i think.

Anyone remember the time that Google tried to oust Facebook with GooglePlus
It's where peadophiles hang out & create "challenges" for young teens, mostly girls, to show as much flesh as possible. It works because of the massive shift amongst the younger generations to narcissictic behaviour. They all think it'll make them famous.
There's no real deterrent for peados on the platform as being caught by 'moderators' only leads to a one week ban. (LINK - Sorry, paywalled but you can see enough)
Started I think about 1-2 months ago.
Every time it got circumvented within days twitch changed stuff to get ads through again, a decision was made to get these ads through, and 2 days ago I had 3 rolling 30 second ads had to wait for to start watching a stream.
suggested videos and search algorithms are terrible in my experience.
always wants to suggest stuff I watched years ago like they expect me to forget I ever watched them, or spams me with stuff I would never watch.
on searches I tend to see the same channel appearing over and over again near the top of the lists even if it's barely relevant just because they want to promote someone so hard
I agree and it looks like soon if nothing changes it will have killed my local town

It's already dead like most towns/cities, they just didn't get buried yetI agree and it looks like soon if nothing changes it will kill my local town
there's only so many gambling and pound shops that a high street can have and with few other shops to tempt people they won't last long either
