If you’re just a bit tech savvy and don’t use your tv as your primary YouTube player then it’s reasonably easy to avoid ads and download stuff on YouTube no matter if you’re on Android, PC, or even iOS (yes without jailbreak).

LG webOS? Please do tell what to do? I hate watching YT on my LG tv, its like two ads between each and every video...
I haven't done it personally because I have an Android TV box connected to my LG TV with SmartTubeNext, but here's an archived reddit post with a guide for it.
