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.

If you get a fire stick from Amazon and load smarttube app (side loading) you can use that and all the adverts and sponsor sections will be blocked out of your YouTube viewing. You can login to your YouTube account also with the app.

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.
