YouTube seems to be in this amazing degraded state for me where videos play just fine, but it isn't showing me ads.

That state is called “using ublock”.

Hah I had the opposite. All my ads were playing fine but not the actual videos.

I was in the complete messed up scenario. Youtube loads ads fine, but after playing them, was not able to load the actual content.
