- go into ABP options, "add your own filters", see if there are filters for YT, if any ==> remove it and test again
- if still in trouble, again in ABP options, where you see the lists, uncheck easylist and test again. Does it work with easylist disabled ?

well, safari has many limitations on blocking ads and the extension it's way different
if you still get the comments blocked disabling easylist it's some bug in ABP for safari (due to some update in YT probably)
report the issue on the bug tracker
