Could disabling Javascript get rid of this message? Javascript I think assists video playback, so maybe not.

That’s what 3rd-party clients are for. I recommend Invidious

Yes, good idea. I have ReVanced on my mobile and a few extensions on my PC browser. I haven't used YT on my PC in a while so I likely will need to add more to bypass this should I get it. I think I currently have Adblock Plus, Privacy Badger, YouTube Enhancer, Disable Javascript... Maybe more. I'm considering adding UBlock Origin since it seems to be a more robust ad blocker.
