“Cologne-based Eyeo, which operates Adblock Plus, AdBlock, and uBlock […]”
They mean uBlock, by uBlock, LLC. Which is based on, but is distinct from uBlock Origin. uBO is the original FOSS project still developed by Raymond Hill. uBlock just steals uBO code and makes it use the acceptable ads frame to show some ads payed directly to Eyeo. uBlock Origins does not agree with the acceptable ads manifesto and will never show any ad.
Massive misinformation warning for the article:

Thanks for the information! Hope people see that uBO is still standing firmly against this YouTube bullshit
Not to mention, Eyeo thought it was a good idea to replace ads with their own:
