Even says so on every youtube video.

Not if you tell uBlock Origin to block that stupid bullshit notice. Then you never see it again.

Install the uBlock Origin browser extension if you don't have it yet. Then load a YouTube page with that dumb warning, click the uBlock Origin icon, and there should be an eyedropper icon. Click that, then hover the mouse over the stupid warning's box, move it around until that whole box is highlighted (but nothing else), then left-click and there ought to be a 'Create' button. Click that, and it'll create a rule to nuke that stupid warning box forever after.

Oh, also, you won't see 99.99% of ads anymore, anywhere on the web, ever again, including YouTube video ads. It comes with a few blocklists by default, but open the options thing and you can add lots of more, which I recommend. There are blocklists for stupid social media "like" widgets, malware blocklists, "coin-mining" blocklists, phishing blocklists, etc. etc. I activated them all, with auto-update. After that, it's fully automatic, it'll just block everything and update all its blocklists every day or so, you don't have to do anything.

It's also free (the BEST price!) and open-source (so nobody can hide evil code in it). The author/maintainer also refuses to take contributions, instead asking everyone to donate to the people who maintain all those great blocklists. Pretty cool, huh?

NOTE - Make sure you get uBlock ORIGIN, not just uBlock which is a totally separate and inferior product. Also make sure you get the REAL version, not some impostor version. Your browser's extension "store" or extension page is the best way to get the real uBlock Origin. I don't know about other browsers, but in Firefox they mark it with the "RECOMMENDED BY MOZILLA" badge, which means it gets the highest level of code scrutiny and thus the highest level of trust. Impostor versions don't have that badge.

Hope that all helps!
