I don’t think that works on my Samsung TV, or my partners iPad though. :)

Although not especially effective on the YouTube front, it actually increases network security just by blocking api access to ad networks on those kinds of IoT and walled garden devices. Ironically my partner loves it not for YouTube but apparently all her Chinese drama streaming websites. So when we go travel and she’s subjected to those ads she’s much more frustrated than when she’s at home lol.

So the little joke while not strictly true, is pretty true just if you just say ‘streaming content provider’.
