No disrespect, but how in the world are you watching HOURS of YouTube a month as an adult? Outside a few podcasts and a couple of instructional videos, I hardly ever use YT.

Just got a pop up with this notification.
Video player will be blocked after 3 videos
It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback will be blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.
Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.
The ad-blocks worked fine until just now. I randomly started getting them shyts again.
