This is the reason I stopped contributing eventually. Can't download the db, API limits so low you can exhaust them with a couple exploratory queries, and a small group of people getting overly defensive when asked about it. I don't mind working for free, but this sucked the fun out of it.
I've heard variants of this story so many times, but it leaves me confused over my own experience. This sort of high frequency breakage just does not happen for me, I can't even say rarely. Definitely not on youtube. So what is going on there?
It happened to me when I enabled some of the optional annoyances filter lists in uBlock Origin. Things like sign-up pages not working, full-page cookie modals you can't quit etc.
This fork integrates sponsorblock, been using it for a while and even though the maintainer calls the integration "rather basic" it works quite well.
