Probably a good sign it is doing something useful if YouTube thinks it is an adblocker.
Possible solutions: invidious.io and piped.yt
I suspect that’s a growing pain. Same reason it happened on Lemmy, especially right after the reddit API changes.
Seems to me YT is just blocking the instances so they have to move their servers constantly. Big or small instances, both get blocked every few days. Thankfully there are enough instances, so you can always hop. But it does require more intervention than Invidious, which doesn’t proxy your requests to Google.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Right? It’s like they don’t want people to have an account on their site.
At this point, Google can have YouTube I’m out
Yeah I’ll just use [insert other popular video sharing platform here] instead. Oh wait, there aren’t any…
