I built one, but never finished setting it up. But, seeing as how there is now a hot war with YT ad blockers.... is a Pihole still worth setting up these days?
A pi-hole is incapable of blocking youtube ads embedded in videos as it blocks ads by blocking the domain their hosted from. To block youtube ads it would have to block youtube.com rendering the entire site unusable. If you want to block youtube ads ublock origin is your best option.
Nice catch, fren.

Nice workaround, albeit a bit manual. I guess fighting ads won't be quite as ezmode anymore lol.
Thanks to you, u/Dons_Johnson and u/gg102. I'll put my pihole back on the to-do list
