ublock still not working, even after refreshing the cache, etc. Completely blocked from viewing anything.
Ended up using this app instead: https://freetubeapp.io/

What about go the commie way "and nationalize" YT (planetarilizing) tax oligarchs to pay for the servers holding the content and paying content providers. Surely Gates, Musk, Bezoz, Rotschilds, Rockefeller and other trillionary bankster families can afford a free planetary video service.

Huh, I use uBlock Origin and have not noticed any problems.  For most YouTube videos, I download them to local storage and watch from there, but I still stream some of them and have not noticed any issues.

Maybe YouTube is staging the rollout?

Beware what you wish for. Nothing ever comes for free.

The client is effectively lying that it has received a packet that got dropped. Of course, it would be easy to detect if it claimed to have received one that hasn't been sent yet. But so long as that doesn't happen, how would a server know that the client didn't actually receive all the packets that have already been sent?
