Pihole doesn't block YouTube ads on the Nvidia shield. You need to run sponsor block on a separate machine.

I'm running a pihole at home.. but, I definitely still see YouTube ads. I don't see how it's possible with a pihole to block YT as the adds are served from the same domain. I guess you're only referring to the Amazon ads?

This doesn't block YouTube ads though. Not for me anyway.

I guess you can dismiss my point, I’m aware of those options and frankly, not interested in deploying them. I have better things to do with my time and life.

Complaining without action is pointless, especially when the action is so damned easy.

So, why complain if you're not going to do something about it?

I do something, it just doesn’t involve YouTube or other streaming services anymore.
