    PiHole blocks by preventing certain domains from loading (the ones you specify on your blocklist). It’s not examining any content. It simply sees a request for say examplespamdomain.com and blocks it when something on your network requests it. Youtube serves ads and videos from the same domain, so this approach doesn’t work.
