Considering a DNS block

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Doesn't work. I have network wide DNS filtering, but that alone doesn't stop YT ads.

If you have a link to a GitHub host file for that, I'd definitely take a peak.

Otherwise, uBlock and *Pipe apps.

Try blocking the ads.
You will block the video serving domains as well :)

YT/Google aint that stupid and knows how to bundle both for your convenience.
