Comment on YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads
KrapKake@lemmy.world 1 year agoYou can set custom DNS on androids and most smart TVs AFAIK. It should just be a setting somewhere. I use
base.dns.mullvad.net
For TV you might need IP address in which case it’s 194.242.2.4.

This doesn’t work for most streaming services. The ads and the actual video come from the same server. I know this is the case on Hulu (probably YouTube, too).

Yeah, it used to not be like this but they have taken measures to not use separate domains to serve ads because of dns filters.

Yeah it doesn’t block YouTube ads, because YouTube hosts the ads locally. No reason to have the ad provider host their own, when YT already has the infrastructure built to host them.
