~~Would Google know if you're using a DNS-level ad blocker? Probably not, so everyone can just move to that.~~

Edit: I forgot that Google serves ads from the same servers as the content, so DNS as blockers don't work...

DNS level ad blockers don’t work for YouTube or any other site that serves ads from the same place as the content.

Oh, right. Duh.

This is why Google being the ad server and content hoster sucks.

Those don't work on Youtube, the videos and ads have been coming from the same domain for a while now.

More specifically it comes from a myriad of subdomains that they rotate all the time.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
