Way to block apps' trackers

You shouldn't have deleted the post that you're referring to.

Why don't you tell us which YouTuber, in your opinion, posts inaccuracies?

[deleted] hmm? Why do you say this? I haven't been doing the privacy thing for very long, but part of my process for a new app is to run Exodus and block domains for trackers. I then watch NextDNS logs while using the app to see where else it may be pinging and block those domains so long as they don't break any functionality I want.

I figured if an app is using these trackers they're probably NOT also serving the same data from their own company servers to those domains.

Is this a waste of time?

Yes, that's correct, but by using NextDNS you can see how often the selectable lists are updated.
I have selected all lists with regular updates and it works fine.
You can test the success with online tools like this: https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

BTW: if a website/app have issues with NextDNS, you can set their domain in the Allowlist and don't worry, which block list is the case for the issue. Allowlist has higher priority as all other rules.
