Is Adblock obsolete now?

For the past few months Youtube videos would start with a black screen with that yellow ad bar at the bottom and the video would usually start at 6 or15 seconds because of that. Now for the past 5 days 70 percent of videos don't start at all. I know there was a lot of talk a few months ago about Youtube blocking adblock users, but they seemed to back off from that idea, until now. I'm suspecting that this problem will only get worse.

Another site I use, called WCO dot tv gives you the Adblock detected screen on all its videos, but when I downloaded uBlock origin that doesn't happen at all now and all the Youtube videos work just as well as they did years ago.

Should we all abandon Adblock at this point and never go back to it?
