          PiHole doesn’t work on YouTube ads unfortunately. No DNS based blocker does.

            This is generally the case for any sites thay have their own ad inventory, since the ads are coming from the same servers as the site itself.

                They don’t even need to do that, since the ads come from the same domain as the app’s content. Some apps use their own DNS resolver but a lot of the time it’s for other reasons, like preventing DNS hijacking by ensuring DNSSEC records are validated.
