on smart TVs and such Youtube ads are blocked by using a special youtube app. there is SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV, NewPipe for Android, there is an adfree patched version of the normal youtube app (only available through the Homebrew Channel app catalog, or via manual install). there’s probably something like that for Samsung too. but maybe you could also use Freetube through the PC, or the youtube website with uBlock aorigin on Firefox.
pihole won’t block youtube ads. youtube ads are coming from the same domain.
what is your TV brand?
It’s a Samsung monitor iirc. Wanted to get something that didn’t require smart TV software to work.
does it have apps? or are you going to use a computer with it?
Rn I’m just using Apple TV apps. That’s where I folded along the privacy-convenience spectrum.
