Internet Archive (archive.org) blocked
Which list is blocking archive.org? If "NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist", probably some kind of mistake, write about it - https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/issues

NextDNS - Are their lists public to use in Pihole?
You can find the NextDNS lists here: https://github.com/nextdns/metadata

Is NextDNS alive?
You can always look at github. This is just the activity for their metadata repo: https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/commits/masterFeel free to check their other repos.

Next DNS doesn't respond to any help issues.
NextDNS gives you a whole bunch of 3rd party filters, maintained by random dudes in Github repos as a hobby. We support some of them too in the "3rd party filters" tab, however we don't encourage anyone to actually use them, as we have our own Native filters, that we've built up over the course of 5 years based on feedback for millions of Windscribe (our sister company) users. Our native filters are highly effective, and prone to much fewer false positives. We recommend you try them, you will be pleasantly surprised with how they perform. I guarantee you that you will spend 90% less time making whitelist rules for false blocks... or your money back :) "Native tracking protection" filters are all part of the IoT Filter. NextDNS has the individual toggles, which enforce this small set of rules. Out IoT filter enforces all of them, as well as 10x more things.

Can you get Adblock on your Roku?
In addition to PiHole which others mentioned, some routers provide the adblock functionality. Generally this is done via a dnsmasq add-on, like this for Ubiquiti Edge routers.

Pihole-Antitelemetry
A reminder that this is not limited to PiHole. I use an EdgeRouter and this list can be dropped in when the right plug-in is used (1).
