Will it block YouTube ads?

  Short answer : no.

    What’s the long answer? Ads are obfuscated across the video stream and served as blobs?

        Ads are using the same servers as content. So you can't block one without blocking the others with dns only.

  I've had the same PiHole rule (for years!) which blocks all the text-splash-over-ads... but it becomes very cat and mouse if you want to block the pre-roll video ads (any rule that initial works... won't for very long). Instead, use yout-ube.com [insert a hyphen into any URL] and ALL ads disappear.
