Oh no, anyway.

Is this a rule for an adblock extension? What does it pick out?

It gets rid of the nag screen so you can just watch the video. For uBlock Origin, it's a bit crude, may affect other bits of interface, I also use the Enhancer for YouTube plug-in for Firefox which is really useful.

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

I quite easily removed it with uBlock using block element, but the video is still paused.

I guess this is a similar solution?

It'll work until they get annoyed and do what Hulu and Twitch does and bake it into the player. Then we're kinda fucked.
