Just set up a pi hole. Fuck ‘em

Pihole explicitly doesn't block Youtube ads as they can't differentiate them from content at that level, it needs to be done at browser/app level

This.

The ads and content are delivered via the same way, so blocking one blocks the others.

No. PiHole is effectively ad-blocking via DNS; the name is a play on black hole and Raspberry Pi.
