      I started seeing it on my work computer that’s vpn’ed into another part of the country, while logged into my work Gmail (which has no real history).

      I’m not seeing it on my personal computer, which is logged into my personal Gmail.

      Both are using ublock.

      I think the rollout is very selective.

      I haven’t but I can make it appear by turning on the Block ads feature in YouTube Enhancer (so no one can tell me it’s “slow rollout”). So far Filterlist devs are doing a great job at blocking them, just like they always have on every website that is commonly used and isn’t a malware or scam site (not great examples of Anti-adblock sucess since they’re usually added to malware filters once detected).
