So, I was going about my business about to watch a youtube video, and a ad started to play. I looked up to see that ad block was actually on. Is this a conspiracy? Has youtube gotten past the ad blocker?

It's only ever happened to me when I boot up my browser and youtube instantly opens on the last video I was on, before my uBlock can start up. And that's very rare that the page loads before uBlock. (hasn't happened to me in over a month.)

It's because Google paid AdBlock to make their ads NOT getting filtered by them.

False. They just add their domains to the exception list. It's easy to enable it again for them... Or just get a new list.

Like 1 of 1000 videos had an ad for me. (Mostly proxied music videos.)

Just add those manually and you won't be bothered for the next 1000.
