I saw this, hit the X to close that pop-up and continued on as usual. Just me?

The X works fine for me. Great design.

AFAIK they start counting strikes after a while. After 3 of them, you are banned off Youtube. Edit: I was wrong. It just disables video playback.

Didn't happen to me yet. I've clicked off a bunch.

No, what happens is that a timer is added before you can click the X to close the pop-up. If you continue to close it, video playback will be locked until you disable your ad-block (or circumvent the detection).

That seems unlikely. I can see them blocking you as long as they detect ad block but not banning account / IP wise. It would lead to many non-tech people to be banned without understanding why and those are majority of their viewers who are easiest manipulated into watching ads.
