Exactly. Takes five seconds.

I'm not having YT problems but have never done this.

Could someone explain how?

Open the uBlock Dashboard, then in the Filter Lists tab click the Purge All Caches button (then the Update now button)

For quicker syncing, you can:

Open uBlock Settings -> click Filter Lists tab -> type "quick" into search box -> click clock icon for "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" -> click "Update Now" button up top

That will only clear the cache for the fixes that actually counter the youtube countermeasures. Helpful if it takes a long time to download and refresh when all of the caches are invalidated.
