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

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