Comment on YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?

No AdBlock, no vanced. There are no ways.
Pihole. It's a hardware device that plugs into your router and blocks traffic to known advert domains.
It works network-wide, so this works even on non-standard platforms like Playstation.
Like the above poster said, there are ways. Just not the ones they suggested.
Pihole doesn’t do absolutely anything against YouTube ads as they use the same domains for ads and videos.
If you tell pihole to block the domain from where YouTube ads are served, then you effectively blocked all YouTube videos
Ah it doesn't work for YouTube? That's a bum :(
I think it’s even by accident, wasn’t carefully engineered to block the DNS ad blockers, but just that, since the beginning, all YouTube ads are just links to videos on the advertiser account.
It’s also a reason why sometimes you get an irritating 5 minute trap video as an ad: that channel is inflating their view counter on their music video by just paying YouTube for extra views
Doesn’t work when the ads and content are served from the same domain.

My dude are you browsing Lemmy on your PlayStation?
Grab a chromecast HDMI stick and just stream it from your phone. There are ways.
