It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I'm finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I've got no idea when that'll become less reliable

and the ppl at ublock will find a way around it in approximately 3 hours lol

Given the image I wonder if it's a server-side thing (at least if you're logged in). Though if the 3 videos thing is actually enforced I could see people playing long UHD+ videos (even on 1080p screens) or even keeping one video and re-watching (or scrubbing backwards, changing res down then back up etc) in protest.

Also really giving a reason to hoard content.

There are plenty of tools to get around news sites with "article limits", so I have some faith that someone will find a way around any kind of video limit as well.
