youTube_ads_4_pi-hole VS my-pihole-blocklists

I am using more than 20 lists, this one among others: https://github.com/kboghdady/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole

What is this?

Some attempts (such as this) try to keep the filters up to date but it's a loosing battle.

youTube_ads_4_pi-hole

Which gravity list are you using that works for YouTube? None of the default lists work to block the ads consistently. I was using the one from https://github.com/kboghdady/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole, but it caused a bunch of issues.

In addition the the stock Blocklist, I added this one. So that could be contributing.

Pi-hole should work fine for content blocking, you would basically create a group for the kids, add their devices via MAC, and then assign blocklists to that group to block content you don't want kids to see. There's lists available to block pornography, dating services, SPLC designated hate groups, gambling and a whole bunch of other stuff. You can also add sites individually.

Tangentially related:

Somebody created a github containing domains he thought should be blocked: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

A year later I bought a domain that had expired under my country TLD. It turns out that domain for some reason was previously added to that list.

Now, as you can see, the man behind that Github repo has decided to archive that repo and therefore make it read only.

As you can tell from both pull requests and issues on that repo, people has asked him to remote legitimate domains (e.g. *.urbandictionary.com). But those calls remain unanswered. It is fruitless to contact the author.

So this random dude causes real problems for legitimate business and individuals and we should just accept it?

Obviously he doesn't act on friendly geek requests. It seems lawyering up would be the only recourse in this situation. I find it analogous to somebody standing on a soap box in a village and announcing: "Don't trust James. Don't trust Mary either. There's problems with Charles" and James, Mary, and Charles have no way of stopping his libel.

I don't have the funds for legal action, but it is obviously wrong that he can announce "these domains are bad" and offer no way of fixing mistakes. He should take down the repo, but oh that sweet sweet Github karma probably discourages him from doing so.

Have you checked out https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

I got mine from here: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists sorry if not allowed to post links. This list seemed to match some sites I know about and others that I wouldn't want the kids to find really.

I use the Chad Mayfield list (the "all" variant)
