I had premium as part of a family plan with like 6-7 friends from 2017-2022 while I was basically ignorant of the enshitification, then when I got a secondhand pc I stopped paying since I had adblock. Had a few years of bliss and then the pc bricked up so I went back to premium for about six months and during that brief period it just got worse and worse so rapidly that I jumped ship. Very glad I did now. I pay for a nebula subscription which is nice to have for throwing up on the tv while I do stuff but it doesnt have a ton of content
You have to get the apk from their github page or website. But yeah it’s just a way better YouTube tv front-end, still let’s you sign in with a proper account so you still get all of your subscriptions and history and they’ll carry over to when you go to the standard YouTube website on another device. It has adblocking built in and you can even set up sponsorblock too.
Will I be able to make use of the interwebs to figure out installation on the tv fairly easily? I’m assuming it’s best to get it on a thumb drive off my pc?
Thumb drive is pretty easy yeah, i think you might need a file browser app to install it but you can get them on the play store. Or if you don’t want/can’t use a thumb drive you can use an app called send to tv, also on the app store.

If you have an android based tv or device, look into installing smarttube, it’s great
Is that something available on whatever the android app store is? And is it just a yt front end that blocks stuff?
