Title kinda says it all. It suddenly went from "are not allowed" to "you have three videos until we ban you". So, that sounded way more severe and i figured it's best to actually disable them. Turns out, I have quite a bunch of them installed (some YouTube nice-to-haves (i.e., better hotkeys, ban shorts etc) also have baked-in adblockers) and I actually did not find them all before my 3 videos were used up. Now, my player is blocked and I'm pondering what workarounds have been found until this point.
I used to be a student and hence not capable of paying 13€ for premium each month, but since I'm a working adult at this stage, I've been contemplating getting premium for a while now. However, now, I feel like they are forcing my hands and therefore I really don't want to give in.
Edit1: typos
Edit2: thank you all for your Input. I think it's solved for now. Also, I wanna apologize for sounding a little too alarmist in the post.

Things that aren't actually overpowered, but are funny so we pretend they are overpowered.
Any device you so much as look at will no longer display advertisements, unless you want it to. It works on anything from TV ads to pop up ads, and everything in between. This also nullifies the whole "we see you are using an AdBlock. To continue read the article, please disable it" thing.
You can also disable real life ads, such as posters, billboards, and even spam mail. It doesn't just hide the ad from you, it removes it entirely from existence.
A place to post an opinion you accept may be flawed, in an effort to understand other perspectives on the issue. Enter with a mindset for conversation, not debate.
I want to support content creators. I do. But the system is stupid, and I'm not going to play along.
I'm ok with seeing ads. What I am NOT ok with is being shown misleading or dangerous advertisements that spread malware or misinformation. If YouTube wants me to watch their ads, they need to regulate them. My little brother was watching a video on his tablet today, and up popped an ad for... electromagnetically insulated beanies to protect one's head from the dangers of 5G. My brother is 8.
These ads are dangerous and are spreading misinformation to the public, including impressionable kids. What's next, anti-vax ads? Jeez. I'm getting AdBlock for everyone in my house, no regrets.
Edit 1: The problem is bigger than youtube, it's just the example I am using here because of that little anecdote. Google doesn't regulate their ads much, and they serve ads with misinformation, scams, and malware. Other companies are even worse. I believe that using AdBlock is about more than convenience, it's an important part of internet safety! Change my view :)

My dinner video session got interrupted, so I'll let out my frustrations by showing how easy it is to bypass this stupid thing:
-
Use Brave browser
-
Brave's built-in AdBlock doesn't get detected or flagged by YouTube the same way extension based blockers do, so the "AdBlockers violate YouTube's TOS" popup never shows up.
-
-
Use fadblock
-
This is a chrome extension (so it works in most browsers), which skips YouTube ads, but because it actually loads them for a split second, it doesn't get flagged by YouTube.
-
-
Open the video in the Incognito Mode
-
If your player get's blocked after 3 strikes, you can still just copy the URL, open it in the incognito tab and the video will play. Make sure to enable your AdBlock to run in Incognito.
-
As a side note I'd like to add that even if YouTube patches all of these, I'm just going to buy a Raspberry Pi and set up Pi-hole to intercept all the ads in my network, rather than pay for Premium.
Let me know if this was useful for you, if I'll see enough interest I'll post a guide to getting all the YouTube Premium features on mobile with basic browser extensions.
Stay Based fellas.
