Additional Information

In order to play the video content, the user must Allow Ads and Trackers and Allow all Cookies. This issue was originally reported on Twitter:

Allowing all cookies wasn't necessary for me on 0.58.21, only the "Ads and trackers" switch. It also runs into autoplay, which won't be allowed because of the ad blocker catching the video...

This is fixed and under review here:
brave-experiments/ad-block#162

If accepted, it'll go onto dev channel which moves to Beta on Jan 29th.
And release channel Feb 19th.
