    What does this even mean?? Smart TVs have had app support for years, even without an HDMI plug-in.

        But how does the presence of an HDMI port determine whether or not you’re watching YouTube??

        Dense motherfucker.

            OK I’ll play your game. Assume that I am, and explain to me what about an HDMI port determines whether or not I’m watching YouTube on my TV??

              I’m guessing they’re saying if you have a TV that can access yt, then you can plug in a device that can run yt with ads blocked.

              Personally I gave my first smart TV the wifi password and almost immediately factory reset it when it tried to install 19 different streaming apps I didn’t ask for and mostly hadn’t heard of, fuck that.
