I can confirm that actual abp subscriptions dont block youtube ads..
in my case:

-a lack screen appears in the middle of nowhere while playing a video with a circle of grey balls turning (loading process)
-2 urls appear very fastly on the statusbar (youtube made it well so people can't remember what they've read or printscreen it)
-an ad's picture appears & is skipped 8 seconds later

If that can help: i could locate that picture using ehh:
youtube.com##.ytp-thumbnail-overlay-image

but a script is there to load that Shisse, anyways.

Youtube staff trying hard to make us eat ads..

ytimg.com
apis.google.com

It's been frustrating for sure, especially considering it has been this way for at least a month and a half.

for my part it's resolved, a pat of a script of "youtube+" efficiently blocks the ad-like picture i get
& black screen at the beginning of videos, due to youtube's attempt to load ads.

for palemoon, yt+ 0.5.7:

for firefox: try yt+ 1.4.0
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/9932- ... ion=137947
OR latest if it works on your version of firefox:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/9932-youtube

for my part, i have 0.5.7 tweaked, i removed buttons & related functions that appear near titles under the video frame usually breaking the titles..

I might have to give it a go. This is getting very frustrating.

Trying it - it works great. I haven't seen a single ad on Youtube, and I do not have the black screen anymore. Ublock is working for me, so thank you for the suggestion. Really hope ABP is able to figure out what is causing this for people.
