I haven't watched an ad on youtube in like ten years. They are probably very upset at me.

Unfortunately I watch YouTube on a smart TV. I have no way of blocking their adverts. I can only wait for skip button and skip.

Would something like pihole not work in this case?

Pihole does not block YouTube Ads. You can use Smart Youtube TV to watch ad free YouTube on your TV.
