    My wife and I watch certain YouTubers more then we watch TV, and use a TV to do it, so it’s pretty nice not having any ads and we don’t really rely on the algo at all.

      If you’re using a smart TV running any version of Android (Fire TV, etc.) or you’re using a device that plugs into your TV that’s running Android, you can use SmartTube to watch YouTube if you want.

      It blocks ads, it’s got SponsorBlock, and it supports casting from somewhere else (like your phone’s YouTube app). It’s also pretty customizable, too.

        I’ll check out SmartTube, tho I also rely on Yt Music quite a bit and Yt Prem comes with that as well

          ReVanced supports YouTube Music on Android, and it includes the ability to block ads and enable playing music in the background, among other things.
