I've gotta share something -- so, I think I have a bit of an addiction with YouTube and I'd been thinking about how to shake it off. I didn't get round to it for whatever reason (blocks in modem settings maybe), but one day a month or so ago, if I went to YouTube, I saw this screen: https://i.imgur.com/OIL0jSE.png Not extremely sure why this happens (I reckon it has to do with my use of adguard), but anyway I noticed…

There's probably a few extensions that do this for YouTube. One is called Unhook.

It's actually from the adblocker. Google is cracking down and making YouTube harder to use if you don't have ads or a premium subscription.

I also have no watch history, but my screen only began to look like that when I subscribed to premium.
