Because Ublock Origin is better than AdBlock in every way? Or maybe because they're already using PiHole?

I doubt people are using better options as an argument for this. The Youtube stuff makes the news like every other for blocking people, yet I haven't noticed any of it. If it weren't for lemmy and reddit spamming it I wouldn't have known it was possible and I'm not even doing anything crazy. Just Firefox and ublock. If people were using great options, it wouldn't have even been making the news because no one would have noticed.

Firefox with ublock origin was impacted, however only a set of users get the change. This way Youtube can test what impact it has.

The fact you were unaffected means nothing.
