Is it really that easy? Why did they even bother?

They've known about ad blockers for well over decade now and their "solution" can be bypassed with inspect-element. Nice.

It is, in fact, not that easy. It works to hide the warning, but once you reache the stage where they block videos, it won't help you.

The better option is to block all scripts on YouTube and only whitelist the 2 or 3 that are necessary to watch videos.
