i’d love to be able to get rid of youtube ads at the network level.

Not possible at the network level, unfortunately.

On some TVs you can sideload apps that'll do it.

Slightly similar, there is also sponsorblock for TVs, this doesn't need sideloading and is ran on any host on your LAN

Note this is just for "sponsored content" that creators may slip into their videos

SmartTube has Sponsorblock integrated by the way.

Nice I'll check this out. Last time I checked lg webos TV's needed some sketchy Russian jailbreak to sideload apps but this appears to look a bit more legit at first glance!

Me too… piHole does not do this unfortunately, especially on anything that isnt a pc.
