I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Doesn't work with TV's.

Depending on what you use on your TV, SmartTube may be an option. It even blocks sponsored segments within YouTube videos.

SmartTube works pretty well

I assume the response to this would be a pi-hole, but I just don’t personally have the patience, energy, or spare running machine to set that up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pihole doesn't block YouTube ads.
