Unable to watch Youtube using Opera GX

I'm having trouble watching YouTube videos in Opera GX. I keep getting a message saying ad blockers are against YouTube's rules, even though I've turned off Opera GX's built-in ad blocker specifically for YouTube. I don't use any other ad blockers at all. Is this a problem with my browser that I can fix, or is YouTube making their site even worse?

@ostrich01 Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear browsing data, then select Cookies and Cached images for YouTube. This might help fix the issue!

@ostrich01 My guess is they are making their site worse, yes - they have been for some time. Though they might be complaining about the tracker blocker too, or simply not be able to tell if the ad blocker is on or not.

@mighty02 I follow the steps, but am still not able to fix this issue.
