The rules are processed in order, so the second rule is not effective, but you probably need to block incoming traffic rather than outgoing anyway.

You will need to block multiple URLs to block most sites, for example ytimg.com hosts much of the video content of youtube.

Watch the PF live log while testing access to the sites, you may see the holes in you blocking rules.
