PowerShell Select-String still outputting blank space - powershell

Question

I have a weird issue where I am blacklisting certain console output and it is successfully preventing the blacklisted lines from outputting to the console, but it is still including blank space where the line would be which makes the rest of the console jump around a lot and makes reading everything else impossible.
cd C:\Users\$env:UserName\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat
$taco = Get-ChildItem -Attributes !Directory . | Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime | select -First 1
Get-Content -Path $taco.name -tail 1 -Wait | Select-String -Pattern $contents -notMatch -SimpleMatch
Here is the full script
$file = '.\blacklist'
if (-not(Test-Path -Path $file -PathType Leaf)) {
try {
$null = New-Item -ItemType File -Path $file -Force -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch {
throw $_.Exception.Message
}
}
$blacklist = "blacklist"
$contents = Get-Content $blacklist
mode 300
$host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = "White"
$host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = "Black"
If ((Get-Content $file) -eq $Null) {
cd C:\Users\$env:UserName\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat
$taco = Get-ChildItem -Attributes !Directory . | Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime | select -First 1
Get-Content -Path $taco.name -tail 1 -Wait
}
else {
cd C:\Users\$env:UserName\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat
$taco = Get-ChildItem -Attributes !Directory . | Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime | select -First 1
Get-Content -Path $taco.name -tail 1 -Wait | Select-String -Pattern $contents -notMatch -SimpleMatch
}
