    I think they serve the ads from the same domain so DNS blocking wont work. And I heard they are testing baking the ads into the actual video.

        Pihole hasn’t made any difference on devices like smart TVs and consoles for years, at least in my experience. It really sucks but they broke me and I bought premium family because we use YouTube a lot on non pc devices and I hate ads so much
