Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.

You can't block youtube ads with DNS blocking; youtube serves ads from the same domains it serves the actual video from.

You need a custom youtube client like Revanced.

Yeah I figured they went the Twitch approach. Desktop YouTube I still have ublock for, but there's no hope for the TV.
