I'm sure I'll get roasted for this, but just get YouTube Premium. As much content as people tend to consume on YT, I don't know why it's the only platform people seem so against paying for. YTP views are worth more to content creators. There's no ads. And you can get YT music with it too. Honestly, it's just a massive amount of content and nothing even comes close. I know the joke is "who would pay for YT Premium", but, at least in my house, it gets like 10x the use of Netflix and Hulu.
The only problem with this is that more and more channels are adding native ads to their vids, and YT Premium doesn't bypass those ads
Check Out SponsorBlock for chrome, Firefox, Safari...
SponsorBlock is brilliant. It's also integrated into the excellent SmartTube app for Android and Android TV, which also hides the normal ads, even if you don't have premium
Oh yeah I was referring to YouTube on TV. Gotta try smarttube next, last I checked it didn't exist then
