Not anymore, it used to. Pihole can only block ads that are served from known ad servers. But with the way ads are served on YT, it can’t block them without also blocking the entire video.
My pi hole currently blocks around 10% of all the requests made on my network. So its still worthwhile for cutting down on some ads and tracking.
Changing your router DNS to something that blocks ads (or a pihole at home) and you’ll never have to watch ads ever again, YouTube or elsewhere
YouTube video ads can’t be blocked with just DNS blocking unfortunately, they are served from the same hosts as YouTube videos.
Of course this is possible but this involves more than just pihole. I’m running this with a combo of adaway + mikrotik router with port based NATing.
