Yeah, that's what I have been wondering all the time, people claiming that Adblockers stopped working, now people are developing new extensions/blockers, but here I am, playing YouTube without ads like before, with nothing more than uBlock Origin....

It feels like I am missing something...

It gave me the warning with uBlock origin a few weeks ago. I think the ad-detection is not turned on for all, that's why it may seem it still works. It also could be that some of the filters in uBlock trigger the detection more than others.

Same situation for me with adguard on safari both on iphone and mac, no ads so far. update: i do see ads on safari mobile now

It’s just deployed to some users and not yet all.

And in case anyone thinks this is a Chrome vs Firefox thing, I've also been using SB + uBlock on Edge and still haven't run into any problems

Also in Chrome.
