uBlock origin on desktop, otherwise just force-close the app and reopen it
They are not testing it because they already implemented it.
You pay premium to get 30s ads only
Everytime I hear whining about youtube ads I’m reminded there are people who are still too dumb to use an adblocker.
Not everyone knows how to install add free YouTube-app to their smart tv.
That doesn’t make them dumb. Most of them don’t even know such things exist. Let alone know even where to start if they want to have it on their tv.
True dont blame users on whats greeds fault
Everyones tv has an hdmi port, if it doesn’t you weren’t watching youtube on it to begin with.
What does this even mean?? Smart TVs have had app support for years, even without an HDMI plug-in.
You can plug shit into it dumbass.
But how does the presence of an HDMI port determine whether or not you’re watching YouTube??
Dense motherfucker.
JFC you are a stupid one aren’t you?
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??
no u
Literally a 5 second google about “how do I get rid of ads on my smart TV” would present you half a dozen options.
I have little sympathy for people who never even try to seek any solution to their problems.
Searching that turns up information about how my particular TV OS (WebOS) has no way of getting around Youtube ads. Not every smart TV runs Android.
And no, a pihole won’t do it, either. I’ve tried.
Tried a pi-hole here for Roku, ads stopped loading when I stopped running pi-hole
Yeah right. Easy to say if you’re tech oriented. To most of my friends and family this is like foreign language.
“Use AdGuard for Android TV: Sideload the AdGuard app to block ads across apps and browsers.
Block Ads on YouTube (Android TV): Install third-party apps like SmartTube to watch YouTube without ads.
Block Domains at the Router: Use router settings to block ad domains like samsungads.com for Samsung or lgad.cjpowercast.com for LG.”
Or they’re using Brave’s builtin ad blocker.

I listen to podcasts while driving using Amazon music. They recently disabled the ability to fast forward over ads using the steering wheel buttons via Android Auto. You can only fast forward now through the full phone app. Someone is going to get in a car accident because of this.
The lengths people will go not to pay for Premium.
Right, i thought we wanted corporations to offer af free plans and we would support that. But here we are.
YouTube premium family is amazing. It’s cheap, i can give my keys to my friends and they didn’t get blocked for being outside my home network, i get ad free YouTube on my phone and cars. It’s actually saved me money because i cancelled xmradio because i can get everything i need on YouTube.
