Yes, I'm pushing back. My statement was a response to the article, title of which suggests that "just by switching from TV to Netflix we reduce children's exposure to commercials". This statement is incorrect, as the kids are on YouTube anyways, so little to no savings are done here.

I recently setup piHole to do DNS based blocking of YouTube ads. At first I set it up for the whole network, but then my Amazon Shopping app misbehaved. So I set it up just for my Nvidia Shields that we watch YouTube on.

It had a couple glitches at first, but has been working very well.
