Wow. I was freeloading on my friend's YouTube family account for years, and they finally just evicted me (YouTube, not the friend). I had no idea the ads had gotten this bad! This is insane. It's, like, unusable! But the whole Internet is still on YouTube and only YouTube. Maybe it's finally time to roll my own household router with PiHole or... what's the other one? AdGuard or something? #HomeLab #SelfHosted #SmallWeb #AdBlock
@changemewtf Pihole won't help with YouTube ads, they serve them from the same domain as the videos. Ublock Origin in a Firefox-based browser is the most effective option there.
Pihole's great for other sites though.
