I can't recreate the popup so impossible for me to test right now 😒

Does it appear on first page load or after going to the site a number of times or staying on the site for extended timeframe?

krystian3w · 2020-08-25T06:14:59Z

For my only after first visit on homepage or when direct open first video/live link.
May need remove all YouTube cookies (pop-up may not use localstorage).

Unable see this on /user/&/channel/ (/c/) "section". Pop-up should stop direct opened video after ~3 seconds and change video frame into thumbnail.

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-26T15:42:17Z

I still can't recreate on US IP with first visit in firefox temporary container with no preset cookies. Maybe EU only (will test on VPN) or some other A/B test such as browser or OS?

Test link for direct link to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXsdKpOWL1U

Test link to video at 8s mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXsdKpOWL1U?t=8

krystian3w · 2020-08-26T15:50:02Z

Good links, here also I see:


pl	en (uk)

Now also have this pop-up with Firefox and "containers".

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-26T15:55:43Z

Are you on Polish IP for both screenshots? Want to see if I can recreate as much of your environment as possible. Glad they are appearing on those test links for you because I can't get them to appear for me on US IP 🤔but at least have video to test on knowing you can see it.

krystian3w · 2020-08-26T16:00:39Z

Yes - both Polish IP, language change in Chrome settings or via glitch with YouTube settings for guest in right top corner:

The language changes after refreshing and any cookie is generated about "I've already seen a pushy popup about the recommended login" to hide this pop-up via Google Idea.

krystian3w · 2020-08-26T16:05:36Z

US no have that pop-up (Miami VPN).

I rule out that it can be hidden by blocking request/resource, because I see after change VPN to Polish localization.

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-26T16:07:33Z

I just connected to Polish VPN and on first load get the popup!

krystian3w · 2020-08-26T16:09:52Z

IMO only that link is "stable"/"constant":

<a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" 
   spellcheck="false" 
   href="https://support.google.com/youtube/?p=sign_in" 
   rel="nofollow" 
   target="_blank" 
   dir="auto">Dowiedz się więcej / Learn more</a>

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-26T16:25:15Z

why not just these 2 cosmetic filters for popup signin prompt?

youtube.com##.opened
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer

krystian3w · 2020-08-26T16:30:11Z

.opened we have with other name:

~~"ytd-pop-up-overlay"~~ "iron-overlay-backdrop"

so is no needed.

yt-upsell-dialog-renderer maybe is too generic - maybe generate fail similar as Fanboy Annoyance:

easylist/easylist@37908e6#diff-a020a1b4fa94a782267fe0a762edd58e

easylist/easylist@6aa17e9#diff-a020a1b4fa94a782267fe0a762edd58e

-youtube.com##ytd-popup-container

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-26T16:47:29Z

youtube.com##ytd-popup-container is the filter for ANY popup functions on youtube, user initiated or loaded automatically so that is way to generic. There are old issues (#16) from couple years ago on this repository about that.

Could do a :has-text(foo) for the upsell but then you don't get matches for other languages. Just given the class name of upsell though I think this is always going to be for some purpose to try and get user to subscribe to youtubeTV or go "premium".

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T14:51:55Z

Hello, I'm having the same problem as described in this issue, only for me the login prompt is not shown in a popup. The login prompt is shown instead of the video in the video container.

Here's a screenshot, though I probably shouldn't have cropped it: https://imgur.com/a/4Q6B158

I hope it's alright to put this here instead of creating a new issues since it's essetianlly the same issue.

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-28T17:50:20Z

@randomcookiemonster I've never seen that login wall before. What setup are you using when you see this? e.g. Is it only on chrome or mobile? In private mode with cookies blocked? More details would be good as I have never seen this one before on standard US IP

Unfortunately, only way for others to help is if it is recreatable.

krystian3w · 2020-08-28T17:56:22Z

I once saw a similar one on blocked materials when a subscription is not paid for YouTuber.

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T18:07:12Z

I've never seen anything like it before either, It feels like Youtube is testing something new.

My setup:

Firefox (desktop, win 10) release version (not beta, nightly etc).
Not using a private window.
I'm using Ublock Origin, with these filters:
- uBlock filters
- uBlock filters – Badware risks
- uBlock filters – Privacy
- uBlock filters – Resource abuse
- uBlock filters – Unbreak
- EasyList
- EasyPrivacy
- Online Malicious URL Blocklist
- Fanboy’s Annoyance
- uBlock filters – Annoyances
- Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
- SWE: Frellwit's Swedish Filter
- Malware Domain List
- Malware domains

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T18:10:37Z

I once saw a similar one on blocked materials when a subscription is not paid for YouTuber.

Good idea, but im my case I don't think this is the case. None of the channels I've watched videos from require a subscription. The video will also play after I click "NOT NOW".

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-28T18:12:46Z

standard residential US IP? No vpn/proxy?

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T18:14:46Z

standard residential US IP? No vpn/proxy?

Sorry, forgot that part. I'm using a standard Swedish IP, No vpn or proxy.

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T18:17:29Z

A possibly related problem that started at the same time is that, whenever the login prompt isn't shown, videos will start playing, the page reloads after a second, and the video doesn't play automatically this time. Maybe the prompt can't be shown and it forces a page reload?

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T18:26:35Z

Swedish IP

[edit: removed images]

I'm not sure what you mean, I haven't mentioned any buttons?

yourduskquibbles · 2020-08-28T19:10:08Z

This combination of network and cosmetic filters blocks the signin wall for me on https://youtu.be/jXsdKpOWL1U?t=8 using Swedish VPN

||youtube.com/*jsbin/spf.vflset/*$script,domain=youtube.com
||youtube.com/notifications_ajax?action_get_registration_token=1$xhr,domain=youtube.com

youtube.com##.opened
youtube.com###consent-bump
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer

@randomcookiemonster and @krystian3w can you test? It also still allowed me to login if i wanted to with Sign in button.

Edit: it doesn't start the video at timestamp requested but does an initial load then a sub reload? video is at least watchable without clicking through popups though?

Edit 2: With https://youtu.be/jXsdKpOWL1U?t=8 URL given by youtube (right click video, copy video URL at current timestamp), the video starts at correct timestamp when loaded in new container.

Thank you I will test this, might take a while to be sure it works.

Do I add everything to "My Filters"?

Edit: Oh, the filters reloads the page?

krystian3w · 2020-08-28T19:19:40Z

yes.

youtube.com##.opened

no needed, you added in the past: ##iron-overlay-backdrop

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by this?

Also I don't understand, filters break e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXsdKpOWL1U?t=8

randomcookiemonster · 2020-08-28T19:29:41Z

I think that's what he said.

Marking as partially solved since I have no fix for Swedish Login Wall

Yaron10 · 2020-09-03T19:21:52Z

I still (intermittently) get the prompt with the following rules:

youtube.com##.opened
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer

krystian3w · 2020-09-03T19:25:20Z

Try after update from c384322

this no have filter solution for now: https://i.imgur.com/3NPYoNd.png

Yaron10 · 2020-09-03T19:27:40Z

https://i.imgur.com/3NPYoNd.png is the prompt I get.

Thank you.

Yaron10 · 2020-09-03T19:32:17Z

It's either https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10229320/91622121-5649c080-e99e-11ea-8c88-7fdf11c7dbe9.png or https://i.imgur.com/3NPYoNd.png.

If I understand you correctly, there's no solution currently for both.

krystian3w · 2020-09-03T19:35:06Z

Yes, because the tests with the network filters was failed and that black box over the player is still visible.

Yaron10 · 2020-09-03T19:35:54Z

OK. Thanks again.

randomcookiemonster · 2020-09-04T13:19:23Z

I am now getting both login walls. 😞

I'll try adding:
youtube.com###consent-bump:remove()
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer:remove()
youtube.com##.opened:remove()
to my filters (uBlock Origin) to if that at least removes the popup.

Thanks for the work you've done on this so far. 👍

krystian3w · 2020-09-04T13:26:46Z

Germany 🇩🇪 also should have pop-up (A/B test on more people...).

Termuellinator · 2020-09-05T08:29:07Z

Just found out about this list, thank you, nice thing 👍

Regarding Youtube, it has some issues though - it gets rid of the new annoying login-prompt, but the video is then stopped again for me and doesn't autoplay anymore.
The other thing (probably the bigger issue tbh) is that on the YT-Homepage, the sidebar doesn't stay anymore, but scrolls up. And after some scrolling, the video-thumbnails don't show the video-duration anymore. When disabling the list and reloading, all is back to normal there.

randomcookiemonster · 2020-09-05T13:48:48Z

I'll try adding:
youtube.com###consent-bump:remove()
youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer:remove()
youtube.com##.opened:remove()
to my filters (uBlock Origin) to if that at least removes the popup.

This has the side-effect of returnng the issue I described in an earlier my comment of mine, but I'll sum it up again. The video starts playing, after maybe 1 second the page reloads, and the video is paused at the beginning. I stopped uBlock Origin when this happened, and the popup login wall immediatelly showed up. Ater clicking "No thanks", restarting uBlock Origin and reloading the page the issue that's the topic of this comment was gone. But it will probably return next time the popup login wall is triggered.

randomcookiemonster · 2020-09-05T14:06:12Z

@randomcookiemonster try this: uBlockOrigin/uAssets#7636 (comment)
youtube.com##+js(set, yt_logging_screen, undefined)

Thanks I will.

krystian3w · 2020-09-05T14:08:10Z

Other user said "scriptlet no block pop-up / black rectangle above video".

randomcookiemonster · 2020-09-06T13:29:38Z

@randomcookiemonster try this: uBlockOrigin/uAssets#7636 (comment)
youtube.com##+js(set, yt_logging_screen, undefined)

This does not work.

Termuellinator · 2020-09-08T16:44:41Z

I only did some tests, but for me it seems that adding

www.youtube.com###consent-bump
www.youtube.com##.opened
www.youtube.com##ytd-popup-container.ytd-app.style-scope

to my uBlock filters gets rid of the login nagscreen and prevents the video from pausing without impacting the yt main page.
(taken from here )

krystian3w · 2020-09-08T17:17:23Z

##ytd-popup-container.ytd-app.style-scope break notfiy from bell "🔔" / subscribe / share as: #245 (comment) / #245 (comment)

Also pop-up is visible once as per time (how long cookies expire) so simple CSS filter may generate FP with fix stop played video.

So far, this project has added 3 elements deletion on the page as fast as uBO/AdGuard can - similar to idea by Illusi (https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/im18pu/sign_in_spam_suddenly/g3whvel/)

c33s · 2020-09-17T20:39:59Z

now this also hit austria. can block it with the filters i found on reddit but it stops playing the video :(

because of cookie blocking i would get the login wall on each video

Takuyax · 2020-10-02T14:43:52Z

www.youtube.com###consent-bump
www.youtube.com##.opened
www.youtube.com##ytd-popup-container.ytd-app.style-scope

This worked great for me for a few days, but youtube now interrupts video playback immediately at startup with the attached error message. Reloading removed the error, but it immediately did the previously described auto-reload without autoplay.
No idea if this can even be blocked, since it looks as if they're running some check to see if the nag-screen was displayed.

krystian3w · 2020-10-02T16:02:57Z

New without close button or hidden by non good filter.

krystian3w · 2021-01-14T17:43:33Z

For some people these may can break search bar:

webannoyances/filters/modal_filters.txt

Line 1012 in 3cd5bf2

    
           youtube.com##ytd-popup-container > paper-dialog > yt-upsell-dialog-renderer:remove()

Maybe better use:

youtube.com###upsell-dialog-text > a[href*="sign"]:upward(body > * > *)
