How is this even possible? I thought Youtube and Reddit ads are impossible to block via a DNS filter.
why do you think it’s dumb? if it works, then it works.

Perhaps proxying through Invidious and or Redlib instances? Given that a Redlib and Invidious URL’s follow the same paths as Reddit & YouTube it’s not hard to replace https://reddit.com/r/SomeSubreddit with https://lib.nextdns.tld/r/SomeSubreddit or https://youtube.com/watch?v=SomeVideoID with https://inv.nextdns.tld/watch?v=SomeVideoID
uhh… wouldn’t that trigger all sorts of https certificate failures?
Depends on how this actually works, I don’t use NextDNS so I can’t tell whether or not from the image provided if this is a browser extension or some sort of app. It’s possible this feature has absolutely nothing to do with DNS but they advertise it as such.
Just gave it a shot, and seems to work just fine.
I don’t know where you found those lists, but on their site they still say it’s not possible to block YT ads.
Just checked on IOS they’re in the list of blocklist
