pi-hole-yt-blocks.sh is design to run on systems that already have pi-hole installed.
pi-hole-yt-blocks.sh main purpose is to STOP all discovered/known yt Ads sub-domains in the youtube videos you watch, the script will instantly set the block. Will also restart/reload the db in use after its applied.
Remix of below discussion:
Installation
Use the main script (pi-hole-yt-blocks.sh) to block all or partially block Ads displayed in YT (youtube) Save to any location in your *nix system that has permission to run under a cron job or system account:

Cron job

5 0 * * 1 /my/path/to/script/pi-hole-yt-blocks.sh >> /my/path/to/script/yt-blocks_$(date +\%d\%b\%Y-\%H\%M\%S).log 2>&1Todo
- add discovered subdomain into an array filename rather than have the values added into array
- Fix a ways to run to exec or combine all into one file when doing exec bash $yt1 for example.
Troubleshooting
Why does ads still apply even do I have done my new blocks?
- Maybe a case of restarting your pi-hole to flush/reload the changes through.
I found new ad sub-domains to block
- You can apply these tot he finger print within the main script and run again to apply.
