I wish there was a way to stop ads on Roku. I'd rather watch on my TV, but my phone doesn't have ads, so I usually use it.
I know of SmartTube for android TVs, but has anyone found a solution for TVs running Tizen?
The availability of Tizen apps is abysmal
I looked around a year ago and I couldn't seem to find anything. People just don't seem to develop for Tizen. I ended up buying Google TV and sideloading everything I needed.
You can pay for premium, I know everyone around here gets mad about that. But I like content creators getting paid myself, and I hate ads. So it works for me.
So, TV then... 🙄
This is the best summary I could come up with:
That’s because YouTube is making ads on TVs appear less frequently, but in exchange, you’ll have to sit through longer commercials.
YouTube started testing longer but less frequent ad breaks in September, and now they’re launching across all TVs.
The change means you’ll see an updated countdown timer in the bottom-right corner of your screen that will now show how long you have left until the entire ad break ends or when you can skip.
Just like on mobile and the web, you’ll now see ads in between Shorts that you can skip through using your remote.
While I can’t say I’m too happy that I’ll get ads in between Shorts on TVs, I am kind of glad about the change to ad breaks on regular videos, as I hopefully won’t get as many small interruptions while I’m watching two-hourlong deep dives.
YouTube has had a major focus on ads and getting people to watch them this year.

I installed newpipe and didn't look back.
The ads were too obnoxious and frequent.
I understand they have to make money somewhere, but at some point you degrade the product too far. This is what they did.
There are no ads.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
