None of them are going to stop YouTube ads, that’s just not how the built in content blocker works. You might be able to with pinhole but setting that up on mobile is a world of fun...

I am guessing he meant Pi-hole [1], a DNS blackhole for advertisement. You use it as your DNS server on iOS and it will block ads on any application.

There are also people running public instances around the web, like me [2], so you don’t have to install and manage your own.

You could also go with AdGuard DNS [3] or nextdns [4].
