I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

My lg tv is jailbroken so I have the ad blocked version of YouTube on it, but I was on my Chromecast with Google tv yesterday and decided to go back to the regular YouTube app since I was there.

I was watching a video of 20 minutes in length, and got one 30 second ad at the start; ok fine.

After 4 minutes, they decided to show me a 50 second unskippable ad.

I backed out of the video, and deleted the regular app.

Fuck Google.

Doesn't sound like you have anything to lose, and you might gain a new skill! Go for it!
