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.

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.
