Through a night of testing,
my pihole Youtube in-video Ad queries are often in this form. r3---sn-n4v7knl6.googlevideo.com
I enabled regex blocking on
r1---sn-
...
all the way up to
r7---sn-
But Susan Wojicki is a sneaky bugger.
I ended up blocking the playing of videos this way as well.
The ads and the videos themselves seem to share this regular expression.
Luckily, I have a suspicion that the ads load before the video, and this way I can brainlessly blacklist the first " r(number)---sn- " in my queries list under the presumption that it was the ad loaded into my video.
There must be some way we can win this war, and there must be a better way and doing it manually so far has bared minimal fruit.
I would like to share those blacklisted addresses though, let me know if I those are wanted.

There needs to be an addition to pihole or a script that whenever a "googlevideo" domain is queued it scans the queries if it request two different domains. Then it blocks the ad domain, leaving the video domain alone, everytime.
