Hi,

As the title describes: How to block adult content/porn on youtube without blocking youtube entirely?

I do understand blacklists/whitelists but that's based on DNS domains.  
I don't want to block completely but just the harmfull video's like porn/violence/etc.  
Can this be done with pihole like for instance based on words on a page?  
For instance, blocking youtube video's based on blacklisted words in the title of the video.

Is that possible and if yes, how to configure?

Thanks in advance.

Not gonna happen with Pi-hole. Nor any DNS blocker.

No. Pi-hole only sees the DNS queries; request from clients for IP's. Once the client has the IP, Pi-hole has no involvement with or knowledge of any of the data that is accessed by the client.
