The adverts on youtube have become so unbearable so no amount of UI change will convince me to use it as intended. If there's a long video I want to watch, I download the video first and watch it using VLC
My ad blocker stops all the ads except for the sponsorships that are in the video... Y'all watching YouTube without blockers?
It's more difficult to block ads if you're casting to a television so downloading is better for my use case
Use smart tube for TV
No it's not; install an APK of SmartTube beta
