I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. ** Google. (kbin.melroy.org)

Is this a global thing? I never saw that popup and was thinking maybe they are directing this only at the US and Europe. I am in north Africa and YouTube premium isn't even available (not that I'd pay for that overpriced bullshit).

@nobloat then it's most likely only a US & EU thing. Good to know, I can fake my origin.
