Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

    Pi hole does not work for YouTube (or Twitch or many others). It doesn’t work for services who distribute ads from their own servers.

    If you had Android instead of iOS you may have been able to use an ad-free youtube client and cast to TV, but if you’re streaming on the TV, or from iOS, I don’t know how you’d go about blocking ads.

      Right. I’ve done my research before and I do have a Pi hole setup on my Linux server. I used Vanced back when I was on Android but I had to switch to iOS for work and stayed on it since.

      It sucks because I’d much rather not pay for YouTube at all, but we share the family plan since we’re all on iOS…
