    My biggest issue is circumventing ads on smart TV apps, 99% of my YT viewing is on a TV.

        I don’t live in the US so I don’t have as easy access to random Android boxes like the ones on Amazon, but yeah I’ll probably get one eventually. I have a Chromecast 4K, but I haven’t really explored all the available apps yet. I’d love to be able to sideload apps, if I could get Grayjay on there that’d be awesome.

        Then you are part of the problem.

        If no one bought that crap there wouldn’t be an insensitive for this psychological warfare.

          Imagine paying for content. What’s the saying? If it’s free you are the product?

          Anyway, I paid long before the AdBlock crackdown.

            Idk man, paying for YT premium feels like paying for an ad-free experience, not content. Like my subscription would be going to YT, not the creators who made the content.

            I just bypass google entirely by hosting my own modified invidious instance and nuked my account.

            Free, no clutter, blazing fast. Took maybe 20 minutes to setup.
