Pihole youtube ads

Pi-hole is up and running. But is there is trick to block Youtube ads? Must be possible!

I tried searching for help on the forums regarding Youtube ads still getting through PiHole but the last ones seemed several years old. I'm currently in a battle to block adverts without then blocking the video I want to watch. I'm blacklisting the domains that start with R then a number from google but as mentioned in another thread it seems that the adverts and videos are piped from the same source, so either I get adverts and the video, or I get the first few seconds of the video then the perpetual loading notification. I'm expecting that my pihole should be able to identify the adverts and drop them off, or filtering unexpected extra connections, since there's always a pair of requests in the query log that are veeeery subtly different. Pi-hole only sees DNS requests for domains in this case, the Youtube domain. Pi-hole can completely block the domain, or allow the domain. There is no third option.
