A dozen or so people also seem to be experience similar issues:

Hello All, I hope I posted in the correct place for my issue.
When going to Youtube.com main page at the top, they push an Advert and added a "Close Ad" link at the bottom right of the advert, however I would like all this to go away, the Ad itself, and the "Close Ad" link or button whatever that is. Can this be done and how would I go about telling Adblock Plus to filter this annoying Ad and recover the space it is taking? I am very new to ABP so I need step by step instructions...
Here is a .jpg pic below of the Ad with the Close Ad link at the bottom right corner of the Ad:
So I'm quite confused here. Recently these little channel bubbles have been appearing in videos. image
Sometimes it's to a high profile channel (Like you see in the provided image), other times, less so (one was a channel with no videos). What I'm confused about is that they only show up in firefox. I know this isn't an ad in the technical sense, but nonetheless I want it gone.

Use imgur.com, cubeupload.com, imgland.net or vgy.me for uploading your pics and provide an example link.

Sorry, first time on this site, not sure how things work. All I really know is sometimes, when watching videos, there's a channel bubble linking to a random channel not affiliated with the uploader. Maybe youtube is trying something out to promote related channels, I'm not sure, but it came about suddenly and is not at all consistent. Could you tell me what you want from me that would help?
Youtube is displaying a little bubble in the upper left corner with the advertiser logo: https://i.imgur.com/lVoZHiK.png
In this case it's linking to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC766vkQw0Mz3VtXX5XvXxGQ
Reporting the issue tells me that the filter ||ggpht.com^ was disabled. However, upon activating the filter, it then proceeded to remove all channel logos. I assume that's where youtube collects channel logos from. I think it's bugging somehow, and the logo from the ad is carrying over to the video. It seems entirely inconsistent with no rhyme or reason.
Yes! Thank you, that got rid of it. Also, that adblock plus element hider helper? I tried to install it, but can't due to a connection error. Maybe the download link is dead? This is firefox btw.
Starting today 8/29/17 ad blocking no longer works on youtube. They did do a site redesign so I am assuming it is related.
Happens on all videos that contain ads.
@asdfag3eta Provide an example video and what do you want to hide/block (with screenshot) and we will try to help you.
(or wait the update of list maintainer).

[mention]smed79[/mention] well the standard stuff that the "pure video experience" list should block (see: https://youtube.adblockplus.me/ (block all elements))
i think that @montza is the maintainer i first reported in adblock plus forum but they told me to report here
i dont think that hes aware that the list doesnt work anymore bcos the new design has been popping up for months
i strongly doubt it would take that long to fix the list
