What, it works for me? Put on an 8 hour video while doing chores and had ads every 5 minutes. Filled with rage I installed pihole and no more ads.

I'm curious how. Maybe a different region? I don't have Pihole anymore but it didn't use to do anything for me for YouTube. Luckily we have uBlock.

Maybe? My region is Sweden. I really haven't had any ads on YouTube since installing pihole. "Works on my machine"
