        I got a Chromecast tv 4k specifically because there wasn’t an LG WebOS version of SmartTube. I love it for other reasons mind but the increasing of ads on the tv app least year broke the camels back

          I didn’t even want to block ads when I started using SmartTube years ago. I only started using it because the official app kept stopping to buffer every few seconds, even though every other app worked fine. Reminded me of RealPlayer, lol. SmartTube worked perfectly as a replacement. I like the clean UI, too.

            Every now and then i accidentally open the stock YouTube app and the changes it’s had since I installed smart tube makes me very glad I did. The best part of smart tube is the customisability of small things like scaling of specific elements of the ui.

      Personally I use revanced & pay for a subscription.

      I pay for a subscription because I like the service and am fine with the price for how often I use it (Far more than any other streaming service: I watch youtube daily) but revanced because I cannot stand video sponsor segments.

        same here! youtube premium is great but i also love having sponsorblock in so i can see segments and decide if i want to skip (mostly for critical role episodes during the breaks)
