YouTube is testing a series of new unskippable 30-second ads that will appear far more often for viewers.

      Hard to do if you watch directly from your TV using some dongle and don’t know or can’t modify your router to block ads.

        SmartTube is on AndroidTV

        Kodi can be installed through the play store, you can transfer files over smb and ftp and move the apk using it.

        You’re welcome.

        Excuses:

        I use a Roku or Roku TV

        Don’t, buy a $25 Android TV box from walmart.

        I use AppleTV

        Don’t, buy a $25 Android TV box from walmart.

        FTP? SMB? Apk? What are these, words?!

        These terms can be searched for and learned about.

        Why not just use Kodi?

        You’re ahead of the game, find a plugin pack and enjoy

      Same… And if they ever successfully make it impossible to avoid, I’ll just stop watching YouTube
