It's not aggressive as long as it still has an "X" in the top right of the modal. I'm sure it won't be much longer before that's gone...

I'm surprised they haven't started embedding ads in the m3u8 playlist like Twitch does.

You'll get that for awhile, then a time gated X, and finally a "three strikes" warning. Just delete your youtube.com cookies.

if you want to see aggressive, block that element.

the next time the function fires it will lock your scroll view and many page elements without a blockable overlay.
