I agree with you, don’t shout at me please 😭 I just can’t use ublock on my TV and I’m too lazy to plug my laptop in.

If you have a smart tv or nvidia shield that can sideload apps, I recommend SmartTube

Thank you. It’s a really old smart TV though and it just has a handful of pre-selected apps you can install.

A pihole then? my bad, it can’t.

I have pihole setup and it doesn’t seem to block YouTube ads on my mibox. Is there an entry I need to add to block them?

Yeah, you are not the only one with that problem…

I don’t know wheather this is an option for you, but there is also a way to use YouTube without using it. There is a project called Invidious. Like in the lemmy universe, there are multiple instances. One of them is https://yewtu.be

You can use it as a website, but it’s also a progressive webapp. That means, you can go to the website and install it as an app via the browser options. This works on most devices, but I don’t you whether your TV is one of them…

You can side load on Roku too? Literally tried googling this and every thread was like “not possible”

If it’s an android tv, install smarttubenext and never look back.
