What code? I am on Fedora+Forefox and it does happen all tge time :-/
Search for it, is a code you paste on the my filters tab of Ublock add on in Firefox
If you're on desktop, download FreeTube. No more ads, ever. No more jittery youtube videos even though you have 300mbs down, you can download any video in app at max speeds, and its not algorithm fed. I imported my subscriptions, and now if I want to see something new I can use the not broken search function. Its like early early youtube and its wonderful!

Fun fact, it seems this ban is IP based. (they're still testing in waves with a subset of overall users)
I switched to a new IP with my VPN, and while still signed in to the same YouTube account on the same video without ever clearing my cache or cookies, the block disappeared.
Genius work from the developers over at YouTube.
I think that's probably because ublock fixed the filters while u were doing this.

If the garbage takes itself out, I won't complain. YT doesn't see how the cable companies dying is the exact same future it is racing to emulate.
aggressively refreshes ublock patch list
I kinda miss when places would host their own videos instead of relying on youtube, but that's the problem of a centralized internet, the majority of people won't want to leave yt/ig/fb/tiktok/twitter/reddit in order to watch or read whatever you posted.
