Could you share how you are successfully blocking ads on YouTube (without sitting through a blank screen while the ad plays in the background)?

afaik, uBlock Origin no longer is capable of it.

Does anyone know of a way to combine youtube-dl + Plex or something like that to simulate YouTube's subscription list? That is my primary means of media consumption rather than TV, and I would gladly pay for TY Red, but they don't offer it in my country.

Possibly a bug on your end. Win 10 w/ firefox, uBlock filters all youtube ads, and it's pretty much a stock install of uBlock.

You're right, so much for following guides on the internet to optimize things.
