The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

So how do i get blocked by google? That sounds excellent.

They ban people for all kinds of crap. Some of it is for violating their TOS. I'm guessing some is just arbitrary corporate BS, too. I mean it is Hooli, er, Google.

Trying to circumvent their anti-ad-blocking detection on YouTube could get you banned on YouTube or maybe more.
