    There are so many ways to watch YouTube without ads on all devices. I don’t see ads anywhere in my house. And when I like a creator so much, I support them directly. Fuck Google. If they were reasonable with their prices/practices and paid people more I’d buy premium.

            There are two version. One is beta and the other is stable. I have both for no particular reason, just wanted to have them. Beta may get some new features before the stable one, but they both do the same.

        Install “downloader” from the Amazon app store, then use it to Google and download the smarttubenext APK. Downloader is a web browser the fire TV stick that has a cursor. Fire TV stick runs on Android, so side loading is good on it. Make sure to enable install from “unknown sources” in the settings of the stick.
