FYI I've got a Samsung TV pointed at pihole for DNS and it blocks all of Samsung's stupid telemetry (possibly some menu based ads too, not sure) but it is ineffective against YouTube due to the way they serve ads.
The ads come through unless you can magically recompile their YouTube app. An alternative would be to build a small form factor streaming PC and run YT in a legit browser with blocking and privacy plugins.
