Yes, and it has been for many many years. In 2011 Adblock Plus deemed some ads acceptable, no longer blocking them categorically. Following that controversity, uBlock Origin became the popular standard.
Honestly, given that Adblock Plus has always had an "acceptable ads" system - I guess they simply decided now YouTube ads are acceptable. Not really surprising then.
