Just a guess, but from the preview image the site shows, youtube w/o ublock loads 2 large banners, and one row of videos, vs 3 rows of videos w/ ublock. The larger number of video thumbnails shown may explain the larger size

That's because there is more room for thumbnails in the right column because there is no ad on top. Weird right :). We have to block more!
