A cursory check indicates that Blokada doesn't appear to be blocking YT ads. For that something like https://pi-hole.net/ or https://www.privoxy.org/ can work quite well.

I bought a raspberry pi specifically to run pi-hole, with the assumption it would be able to YT ads but, as far as I can tell, it doesn't. It's been good at blocking in-game ads though. Another bummer is that it only works on my home network.
