@nukaca,
Instead of using the Adblock filter, simply visit Youtube.com, open your Shields panel and change the Ads (Cross-site trackers) option to “disabled”. Allow the page to refresh – you should now see ads on Youtube videos/pages:

I still do not see advertisements on the home page or video watch pages unless I disable the blocking globally.

@nukaca,
That’s interesting. What if you turn Shields down entirely?
Additionally (if that doesn’t work) you may want to clear your cache/data – at least for YT site data and see if that helps.
