Apple TV and iOS YouTube ads are not blocked by Pi-hole, so I researched this and discovered a flaw in Protobuf that allows me to restrict YouTube ads.

Easier solution: don't buy an apple tv
- Too bad most other streaming boxes suck ass and are full of ads. Begging Android TV manufacturers to use a decent SoC for once.
  
  nvidia shield or a pc
  
  Shield TV.
- the apple addiction is too strong
- Alternative solution: pay for YouTube premium.
  
  You mean feed the investors of the company that makes tons of money by exploiting users private life? Or the one that runs false political propaganda in unskippable ads? (No idea about US elections, this is a much smaller country that I know).
  
  Thanks but no.
  
  Suggesting a non-piracy option or providing links to non-piracy options is a violation of the community rules and guidelines.
  
  hahahahahaha
  
  no u
Woah, gold mine of info and ideas 👀 thanks for posting this
"block YouTube ads using a flaw in the Google Protocol Buffer"... until google fixes it, that is.

Still, super cool finding!
