Ad blocker no longer blocks YouTube ads

A few weeks ago YT started nagging me to turn off Opera's ad blocker. Naturally I ignored it, but now they appear to have found a means to disable or circumvent the ad blocker, so I'm back to being constantly bombarded with mindless, time-wasting, repetitive ads.
Anyone else having this problem? More importantly, is there a way to overcome it? Other than coughing up the subscription, of course. And yes, the ad blocking is still turned on in Settings.
Thanks.

I have ad blocker on both desktop and mobile. I suddenly received a pop up message from youtube to unblock the add blocker on my desk top or else they will not let me watch videos as they rely on advertising for revenue. Even though I have the add blocker on on my mobile, they have found a way to circumvent the ad blocker. Surely if there is an option to use ad blocker I can exercise my freedom of choice with out being threatened?

I've been using Adblock Plus in addition to the integral Opera ad blocker. I'm not sure which is doing what, but when an ad appears at the start of a YT video I've found that pressing F5 gets rid of it, and none appear while playing. Using an elderly desktop PC.
I might be more sympathetic to Google/YT's pleas for revenue if they weren't such rampant, unapologetic tax evaders.

If you have a VPN you can go ad free on Youtube by connecting via Albania or Russia. This is how I ended up avoiding the Opera Ad blocker nag screen.

@Ardony It's been happening to me for the last two hours. And this is the first time it's ever happened. It's like the current update from Opera just made it stop working...
