    The logic checks out. Avoid using google where possible.

          But you can access the content without going to their site, with places like Invidious, and apps like NewPipe and Tubular.

              If you have a way of installing android apps from the web on your TV, Smart Tube Next is very good. Sponsor Block is integrated if you want to use it, but I mostly am just glad it doesn’t serve ads.

              Ah yes, tvs. I don’t watch enough yt to want to watch it on tv, so I often forget about that. You’re right, no easy answers there right now. Certainly there are ways, but all sacrifice some convenience. Hopefully this will change soon.

          Many large creators post on Nebula, and half my YT consumption has been replaced by Nebula

      youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.
