You're not kidding. My girlfriend started talking about this until I straight up told her to stop. She already has ublock on pc she knows there's a way, she's just willing to pay to not have ads on her YouTube TV app because they're frustrating.

your gf is kind of a tool and needs to crack or replace her TV.

Eh I get what you mean even if it does sound sorta mean and I don't entirely disagree. I would just call it ignorance, she wasn't aware that you could get cracked apps for tvs or that just hooking up your pc to the TV is an easier alternative to all of that. Now she knows and she's all about it.

Were planning to move in together soonish and I told her I would handle all the techside of stuff and that she can just let me know what she wants and I'll do it.

yeah I'm usually the 'I will make your machines stop using you' friend. which is probably why I'm so bitter about people putting up with this shit.

Smarttube works well on my android TV. Comes with adblock and sponsorblock enabled. I'd bet my TV is spying on me in some way, so yeah, PC and TV disconnected from the Internet would probably be better.

She has a roku TV which I've read a bit about cracking but it sounds sorta annoying. Once we move in I'm planning to get a projector and hook it up to a mini pc with a wireless small mouse and keyboard. We mostly use it for movie nights anyways.
