Seems only logged in users have issue

This works for me.. if your browser supports private tabs/windows

Have one (not private) tab/window open logged into YouTube (subscriptions is a good choice) and another (private) tab/window not logged into YouTube.

In the (not private) tab/window, copy the link of a video you want to see.

Move to the (private) tab/window, paste the link there and it'll play fine. The adblocking (by uBO or AdGuard or ...) should still happen in private tabs/windows so all the usual YT ads are still removed. All browsers should work the same.

You can update ublock and it works fine. It's also an issue with custom lists etc.

Go to "Does uBlock Origin (uBO) bypass the latest YouTube anti-adblock script?"

If it is green and it says YES, it means that uBO's filters can bypass the Anti-Adblocker script.

If nevertheless you see YouTube's anti-adblocker message, uBlock filters – Quick fixes may not be updated yet, in your browser, and forcing an update for uBlock filters – Quick fixes might help.
Does uBlock Origin (uBO) currently bypass YouTube's adblock detection?
