I’ve had success with a mix of snort and pihole. Lots of ads seem to violate some RFC and snort blocks it. It’ll even break ads in the Apple TV YouTube app. You just get a black screen while ads play.
If you use an android device, like a fire stick, you can block 100% of those YouTube ads with a simple app. It doesn't break them, they just don't show up at all.
Thanks for the info!
