Robert Rankin’s “Armageddon” trilogy has something like this, where Actively Viewing pays you rehousing credits, so the main character has developed away to sleep with his eyes wide open, as if actually watching the screen.

Any adblocks x smart TV?
SmartTube if it's an Android TV.
Download and install the APK through Downloader app or USB, only takes a few mins following instructions.
Devs keep it very regularly up to date. SponsorBlock included. Many excellent additional features making it way better at being YouTube than the YouTube app could ever be.

Don’t connect the TV to the internet. Buy a Shield or AppleTV.

anyone got a solution for apple tv? found one app but it works through invidious and invidious doesn’t really work anymore. even tried hosting my own at home but nothing :(
I ended up manually downloading my subscriptions using Freetube and yt-dlp and throwing them in my Plex server. I don't watch a huge amount so I'm happy to spend 20 minutes a couple of times a week doing it. There are ways to automate the process but I've never been able to wrap my head around it.
I’ve honestly just switched to screen mirroring my Mac and using Firefox / ublock / etc when I want to watch YouTube on the tv.
Wow, a DEC AlphaStation computer. That couldn’t have been cheap.
This shit doesn’t work when it’s a two hour ad lol
