100% agree. I likely would have stuck with adblockers but watching on TV(s) is worth the monthly fee alone. Also you can "watch" (ie listen) in the background on the mobile app too.

I watch YouTube alot btw. :D

The basic install of Kodi on LibreELEC blocks the ads on YouTube. I left Roku after using it for a long time, and the experience with Kodi is far better. Simple setup, too.

For mobile, I use NewPipe which allows background YouTube as well.

Might not work for everyone but I never see an ad on YouTube.
