The file hosts in "C:WindowsSystem32driversetc" blocks every website, that I put in there except YouTube. It used to block it but no more.
There were always workarounds to go on YouTube, if you used an embedded YouTube Player on another website for example. But now it just works directly. I mean that I can just type the URL "youtube.com" in and get to the site.
I don't think that it matters, but I use Firefox Browser for testing.
This is how my host file looks like (excluding the ">" characters):

> # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
> # space.
> #
> # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
> # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
