I watch a lot of Youtube videos, it is my primary source for entertainment. A lot of the videos I watch are from people who make a living out of the videos they produce, and I want to support them for it. At the moment that means white listing ALL of Youtube, even the shit hundred upload of that one song I like, uploaded by some random guy hoping to leach some views.
The idea basically is that I want to white list certain Youtubers. A new update in ABP is allowing this at the moment.
Example; I white list person x, and when I watch a video from person x I get a ad to support person x. However, when I watch a video from that one random person I don't want to get an ad.
TL;DR:
The ability to white list certain Youtube channels, but NOT all youtube.

You do know that you can go into Ghostery's options and add a more specific whitelist entry, e.g.
This will whitelist just that channel.
Be sure to click Save at the bottom of the Options page if you make any changes.

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx7-6..." Is Felicia Day's latest video and is not white listed with this.
YouTube URLs look like random gibberish.
There's nothing helpful in the HTTP response headers.
The author/ytid metadata still hasn't been served at the point where Ghostery needs to start making blocking decisions.
Preflighting is a lose-lose proposition.
If enough people feel the way you do, the optimal solution may be for YouTube to enhance their platform to understand and respect signed-in viewers' monetization preferences (essentially, shift ad-blocking to the server side) — so you could "safely" whitelist all of youtube.com.

I can't read code, so I'm not sure how it works.
AdBlock 2.6.34 (WARNING: contains disconnect.me spyware!) injects a script into YouTube pages which pulls the channel name from an anchor in the DOM, rewrites the browser history to append &channel=whatever to the URL, then reloads the page (from cache if possible). This allows the regular whitelisting logic to kick in. It's a slightly better implementation than the Greasemonkey example, but definitely in the same vein. I expect this to incur a substantial performance penalty, plus there are scary privacy implications.
