Apple TV and iOS YouTube ads are not blocked by Pi-hole, so I researched this and discovered a flaw in Protobuf that allows me to restrict YouTube ads.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

Brilliant if widely usable. We need more amateur accessible tooling like this that corrupts payload data for ads versus just blocking DNS.
