I have the god damn chromecast with the remote thing and it's totally bullshit, and handy! But mostly bullshit. I'm a mute nazi and mute every ad immediately to the point my wife makes fun of me. Although she does admit that it makes it more peaceful to watch. I'm wait to see how they enshittify it. I give it 3 months and then they pause ads if it's muted.

Do yourself a favour and sideload Smarttubenext onto the chromecast. No more YouTube ads.

I'm sticking with the Chromecast 2. No remote, but also no bullshit. Just cast from your phone or computer and send whatever you want from there to your TV.

I kept mine and may go back to it. The remote one is only good because it let's my family watch from my account without buying the family plan. We also have it linked to a couple leach accounts.
