uBlock Origin really needs to find a way to define content-based rules for sites which use DOM randomization. After all, the ads still have places where they can go and ad content is structurally always very different from actual content.
If they let Facebook win, YouTube will do it next. And a year later, uBlock Origin will have stopped working on half the web.

Those hidden markers will be very hard to hide in code review in an IDE which highlights invisible Unicode code points. For code, adding watermarks is likely to cause bugs. For text, Chinese models are as good - so just switching to them solves the issue.
