This is needed if you have disabled your adblocker for youtube.
Although, a better userscript exists for that purpose.

why would anyone do that? you can enable the blocker and still use the site as expected, which was the point of my original comment
The extension is a workaround for when traditional Adblocker's aren't allowed see https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator#background. Youtube has been gradually rolling out their prohibition on Adblockers since this summer and isn't enforcing it consistently for everyone yet.
I had gotten those notifications on the YouTube site for a while, and updating the the blocker resolved the issue. it was a cat and mouse game for some weeks, but at least for now uBlock Origin seems to have "won". do you have evidence otherwise?
