Yup. Pi-hole does DNS-level blocking which would only work if YouTube put their ads on some separate (sub)domain.
I actually experimented the other day by turning off ublock origin and letting Pi-hole try to do the work, but I saw ads.
Theoretically, YouTube could set up their infrastructure in such a way as to put the ads in the video stream you receive, but that is complex and has other risks and trade offs.
One of the main reasons why I use Discord nowadays aside from the fact that my gaming community is there is for its extremely low latency video streaming.
I tried to use other meet softwares but the latency was 10+ seconds. Not useful when I need immediate feedback. Discord offers the quickest and most reliable way for me to get someone else looking at my stream in real-time.
I’ll be looking for alternatives because they’re, of course, not doing anything impossible for others to replicate, they just made it the default.
