YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

If you just click into the article you are absolutely blasted with statement after statement that this is only for TVs. Obviously if you have an ad blocker you wouldn’t see ads. 🙂

Pihole can solve that for you :) Or just not using shitty locked down devices like that.

I have Pi-Hole for like ten years maybe, they cannot stop the YouTube ads since, idk, at least five years, maybe more.

Can confirm, I’m going on nearly a decade and Pi-hole has NEVER been able to stop YT ads because they’re served by the platform’s servers rather than outside servers.

Well, I remember it actually stopping YouTube ads, 2018 or 2019 was when it changed. Or even 2020, won’t recall.

I’ve had pihole set up since 2017 and it didn’t block YouTube ads back then either
