Considering a DNS block
Yep. I tried doing this with Hulu’s self-serving ads and I blocked enough domains that it just quit working
Doesn't work. I have network wide DNS filtering, but that alone doesn't stop YT ads.
If you have a link to a GitHub host file for that, I'd definitely take a peak.
Otherwise, uBlock and *Pipe apps.
Try blocking the ads.
You will block the video serving domains as well :)
YT/Google aint that stupid and knows how to bundle both for your convenience.
