My desire to completely stop using YouTube intensifies
As long as Peertube or Piped keeps working.
They can go fuck around and find out!
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?
