the weird, and i mean REALLY weird thing is
1: clearly, i've not searched anything out of the ordinary
2: it shows up every time i go to a youtube video...
3: appearently lots of people has this issue. googles "suspicious" activity filter is as precise and elegant as their auto DMCA system...
4: both html5 video works perfectly in ANY other browser, AND no message either... what the hell, i even deleted all google and youtube cookies.... are they seriously hiding some sort of cookie to keep me out of youtube...? if so, what is it even called... (plus, i just use opera more and more, for that reason)... and WHY ME?! am i "too controversial"? are any other dear "non politically correct/anti sjw" voaters experiencing anything similar?

Is this because Google wants to shift everyone to their subscription platform?

Get a vpn. Then at least they cannot ID you by IP address. If you clear cookies and use a vpn you might actually get to watch something on youtube without it going on your permanent google record.

my biggest confusion is: why only on firefox? it's not on opera(my secondary), and even if i delete all youtube/ads/google cookies, it still appears in firefox, but not opera... what 3rd party sites do they use, and how do i block their cookies (i already have ublock origin and ghostery, but it appearently got through anyways)
in short, could anyone find out all the cookies google/youtube place stealthily, and NOT under the google/youtube site in the search?

Do you have Firefox set to block all third party cookies? It's rare you would need them and if you do you can just add them to the always allow list. Ublock origin and Ghostery might be blocking most of them already. Anyway you can test this yourself by closing the browser and clearing cookies and cache then going only to youtube. Then go into your settings and see what cookies are present.
Also if you use flash be aware that there are flash cookies stored that arent shown in the cookie section. You can get an extension like Better Privacy or one of your existing add-ons might allow you to delete those on exit with a checkbox.

I swear google does it on purpose, Chrome works perfectly but FF and palemoon all stutter for me too.
You could try Waterfox x64 portable. It stores all data in 1 folder, so you could easily overwrite it to test the cookie problem.
