I alredy quit youtube when commercial crap hit the fan. Never used Zuckerbergs surveillance anyway. Very happy to spend more time on my real life

i watch it, but it has to be adblock, otherwise it becomes intolerable.

protip: if you wish to watch on your android TV, get an app called smarttube next. You'll need to side load it (so i don't know if it will work much longer with this shit that google is up to. don't know if their block on sideloading affects android tv), but once it is installed, it auto updates and shit. no more adverts on youtube.

Smarttube is amazing.

It's a little buggy sometimes, but I assume that's because Google is trying to keep other front ends from bypassing their ads. Smarttube gets regular updates, so it's never a problem for long.

The good news is Google seems to have completely forgotten about Android TV so they probably won't tamper with it or if they do there won't be any compelling reasons to upgrade
