Currently with Firefox uBlock and am getting no pop-ups for three days now (this after pop-up nags with a five-second delay).
Not saying you are not having trouble, but I think this is a fight YouTube is going to lose.
I think they are A/B testing to see how people react. I have gotten pop-ups and my coworker wasn't getting them while having the same IP address. I haven't gotten the "x videos left" popup yet. I think it'd be pretty easy for youtube to make ad blocking very hard; they're just testing the waters right now.
