And yet it still can't figure out how to get past two adblockers at once
It's stupid that it works, but it works

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

Why would you use two adblockers?
-
Because so far, not a single YouTube update has let them get past it. Basically, I switched adblockers but forgot to uninstall the old one, then by the time I noticed, I had also noticed that the combination somehow, for some bizarre reason, ends up confusing anti adblockers to the point of not even getting "disable adblocker" messages. It's not something involving their blacklists either because they have the same blacklist (due to the aforementioned replacing one with another then forgetting to uninstall the older one)

I have only uBlock Origin and no YouTube update has gotten past it (except the first one for a few hours), I never get "disable adblocker" messages either. Also anti adblockers are not blacklist based.

Twice the protection
Double the security
PS: Doesn't apply to condoms.
-
Twice the chances of being detected
Double the attack surface
Half the performance
It really does not work like that. If you need a second adblocker to block somethings just enable the block list of the second one in the first one.
In fact just use uBlock Origin and be done with it.
