YouTube ads are distinguishable at the dns level for now at least. For the optimal setup I recommend docker-compose on a raspi with watchtower. This setup will automatically keep everything up to date but requires a little docker knowledge. Here’s some documentation:

Pi hole does not block it at all for me.
Have you tried accessing youtube in incognito a couple of times with adblockers disabled?
Not saying it isn't true but I, and several other pihole users I know, still see the block without uBo
Long time Pi-Hole user here. It is not effective in this regard. Someone please prove me wrong.
I don't see how it could be given that they are loading a detection script in the client.
It has nothing to do with DNS. I suspect those saying that PiHole solves it simply haven't been rolled out to yet (or are using adblockers but have forgotten)
