I don't know what brave or channels are, but I did try disabling shields. If this isn't enough info I understand and can dig into it more.

I saw this and honestly I thought YT was just getting greedy, and it worked, I subscribed. I haven't been able to figure out what could've changed here or if they would bother detecting this.. If anyone can find a solid reason why this is happening, let me know.

Starting about 2 weeks ago this has started happening again on youtube. I have tried turning off the shields etc and still no change. Have been using firefox exclusively for youtube lately.
