They serve the ads from the same domain, as the site itself.
- colesantiago 3y agoSurely it's possible to block the paths to the ad on the site itself.
- mirashii 3y agoNot with DNS blocking, which is what the pihole is
- kuroguro 3y agoPi Hole just blocks on DNS level, I believe.
- Salgat 3y agoThe problem is that it will refuse to play content if it can't play the ad.
- tiagod 3y agoPihole is only intercepting DNS resolve requests. Those only resolve the domain itself. If they don't use a different domain to serve ads, then it can't be blocked that way.
- potatopatch 3y agoGood thing the whole site is a bug, though I rarely end up on YT by accident since videos are marked in web etiquette. For twitter.com a filter option here on HN would be nice but a domain blocker might do.
