Yes, they are rolling these changes out in stages to make it harder for the internet to collectively address the issue.

Trust me, you will get hit eventually.

It doesn't seem to be making it harder; shit's in the news all the time and damn near every discussion on those articles has work arounds mentioned constantly.

If it ever does hit me, as previously stated, I have several solutions already lined up. Not least of which is simply using Piped. Which I could just use now, even without getting screwed... 🤔

That's the point my friend. The articles and the resolutions are mudying the water. Which is easier:

Finding one post that states "on October 12th, my adblocker stopped working and the resolution was to update the block lists."

Searching three months of varied news articles all related to the issue and with completely different resolutions.
