I don’t think you can block YouTube channels via DNS.
insert joke about the OSI model
Definitely a layer 8 problem
Are you stupid? There's no layer...
...oh I see.
Yes, I'd rather call it the Ötzi model
DNS should allow us to create a blacklist of sites, it would avoid to trash our phone CPU for some useless antivirus, family link (and I guess other MDM) is already enough. If not the DNS, then family link itself.
But a YouTube “channel” is an application/service specific concept, not exposed in any way dns would be aware of.
