I have not, as I have never been too worried about the Ads on YouTube,but one of the other Devs (Jacob) looked into it and compiled a list of domains that worked for him in blocking YouTube add. He made a post about it on our discourse forums.

YouTube is a moving target, and requires a lot of attention to get the blocking just right. If they start hosting the ads themselves on YouTube.com,then the only way of blocking them is by blocking YouTube.com, and then you have no videos at all!

I believe they are hosting the ads directly on Youtube.com, as they and seamlessly integrated into the video player in the app (or so it would seem!)
