For a few days I was getting the prompts and finally the 3 video warning. I went without youtube for a few days, when I tried yesterday my AdBlocker was working fine on it. I watched several videos and got no warnings. It's unclear to me if they gave up, or if they're testing this in waves to see what happens.

It's both A/B tested and a very frequent cat and mouse game with ad blockers. Youtube was pushing out updates daily, and uBlock Origin was responding in kind within hours (Sometimes you would need to manually update your extension though). The last few days Youtube hasn't put out any updates[1]. I believe the last change was 3 days ago.

[1] The current youtube ad notice version can be found at the bottom of this link. No dates, but it's useful to compare if you knew what the last uBlock Origin filter version you were aware of. https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw

Or if your ad blocker updated its filters to a version which successfully evaded the ad-blocker detection.

Same here. Looks like they're A/B testing it to see if this strategy actually works, i.e., if people convert to Premium users.
