So im running pihole with ublock on Firefox in Linux. I’ve yet to see this warning. Any reason?

As long as you're using just the pihole YouTube shouldn't be able to detect it. The playback blocker is based on detecting common ad blocker extensions in your web browser.

I was told the other day that pihole doesn't block YouTube ads because they're served from the same server?

Pi Hole for me blocked some YT ads but not all. YMMV based on the block list you use. I didn't get very aggressive but still killed most page ads.
