Quick google search suggests the ads come from same domain as youtube, so wouldnt be blocked.

If you an android based tv or stick you can install smarttube. The sticks are pretty cheap now, worth it.

Definitely. SmartTube is better designed for TVs , while ReVanced is better for touchscreens. Both integrate ad blocking, Sponsorblock, and a bunch of QoL features.

You will still experience ads on devices if you use **only** a pihole. Many content providers (like YouTube / Reddit / Twitch / Spotify / Pandora / Facebook / IMDB / Hulu) now stream/serve ads from the same servers as the content (meaning if you attempt to block the ads using a PiHole you will also block the content).
It’s still worthwhile to use a pihole on your local network. This will be the device that helps reduce the amount of ads and blocks telemetry data on devices (mobile device / streaming box / etc) that you can’t utilize some or all of the traditional blocking methods (hosts files / browser plugins / etc). The Pi can also have additional software installed (I recommend PiVPN) to extend these blocking capabilities **securely** when you’re not on your “home” wifi.
Your best bet for blocking any and all ads/telemetry/etc is a multitiered approach of a PiHole as well as browser plugins: uBlock origin / Privacy Badger / CanvasBlocker on Firefox or Canvas Defender on Chrome / Decentraleyes / Smart Referer / Ugly Email / Pixel Block / other security browser plugins (as necessary) to prevent ads and protect your privacy.

YouTube serves ads from the same domains that serves the video so you can’t block ads with pihole for YouTube
