LG TVs are neither Android TV nor Google TV OS, so it’s a no-go here

For the cost of 3 months of YouTube Premium, you can buy a Onn 4k box that runs near stock Google TV and then have a much better experience with SmartTube Next.

There’s this tool for webos. https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop fairly easy to setup and it includes a patched youtube on their default apps. No root or scary stuff required for simple apps like these. I’ve used it and YouTube works pretty much like you expect it to.

True. In my case I was luckily able to root it and install YouTube Adfree from homebrew channel but apparently LG has patched most of the exploits in newest firmwares.

Probably not ideal, but what about screen mirroring from your phone using a browser with adblock enabled?
