Please everyone if you’re not using something like Ublock Origin (best in the game imo) you’re doing the internet wrong.
Some say they play ads to support content creators but they make almost nothing from them because Google is so greedy. Best way to support them is direct, $5 on buy me a coffee or a patreon subscription.
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

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