Good luck getting past my pihole, YouTube.

Does yours actually block YouTube ads? I followed instructions and set my pi-hole up a few years ago and it works pretty well on most things but does not block YouTube ads. I was told this was because YouTube hosts the ads on the same IP address as the videos and therefore the pi-hole can't tell the difference? However, I've been using smart tube on my Nvidia shield tv box and that blocks the ads. Do I just need to update my block list on the pi-hole?

My desire to completely stop using YouTube intensifies

As long as Peertube or Piped keeps working.
