I've never got one of those anti-adblocker messages on YouTube and I just use a vanilla browser with no addons and I get zero ads. The Channel 4 website won't let me watch anything without disabling the adblocker, so it's not like my browser is in some super stealth mode where servers can't tell I'm blocking ads. I'm not complaining though.

I barely use YT on the desktop (mostly used with Smart Tube then YT Revanced) to even face these issues...

Glad to know the Ublock team is still fighting this as soon as possible.

Oh, the uBO people fixed that already! That's great!

Thank you, devs.

Google sells youtube to twitch, suddenly a multi-trillion dollar company ...

Yeah, adblockers are a solved issue and only still work because google knows anyone using them will leave before watching dozens of ads per video, and those numbers are high enough to be a real threat.

But my purge button is missing, and apparently is by design update

It still exists, but was hidden for some reason. You can find it by going to the support tab and clicking the "more" button under troubleshooting information. It'll be at the far right of the button list on the resulting screen.

Not really since only a few Invidious instances work
