Literally a 5 second google about "how do I get rid of ads on my smart TV" would present you half a dozen options.

I have little sympathy for people who never even try to seek any solution to their problems.

Searching that turns up information about how my particular TV OS (WebOS) has no way of getting around Youtube ads. Not every smart TV runs Android.

And no, a pihole won't do it, either. I've tried.

Yeah right. Easy to say if you’re tech oriented. To most of my friends and family this is like foreign language.

“Use AdGuard for Android TV: Sideload the AdGuard app to block ads across apps and browsers.

Block Ads on YouTube (Android TV): Install third-party apps like SmartTube to watch YouTube without ads.

Block Domains at the Router: Use router settings to block ad domains like samsungads.com for Samsung or lgad.cjpowercast.com for LG.”
