They are slowly rolling it out; the reports have been trickling in for the past few weeks. Last I heard was firefox users getting hit. Apparently not even uBlock is immune.
You just have to keep updating it unfortunately. It’s messing up my custom filter blocks which is annoying

I’m kind of worried this will burn the devs out. Not sure how much work this would be for all of them. Sounds pretty stressful though.

Considering that suggested videos are all just repeats of videos you already watched and the comments are always ass I see this as an absolute win
