Comment on YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?

uBlock is the real answer.

There’s no uBlock for PlayStation as far as I know. I don’t think there is a solution other than “subscribe to premium” or “don’t watch YouTube on your console”.

that would be correct. get a cheap laptop.. even a shitty one for $200 (new) will work for yt.. hook it up to hdmi, get a wireless kb/trackpad to stream surf from the sofa. i set a laptop (a junky stream14 with emmc) to not shut off when lid is closed. it stays closed. i sleep and wake it from the kb (k400 early model). that is my streaming 'device': browser (firefox)+addons>apps any day.

That’s a clunky, ugly and pricey solution that’s not suitable for 99% of all people.
Just get a cheap Google TV or Fire TV stick (starts at $20 not $200), install SmartTube and you not only will get a remote control come with it, you can control it with your TV’s remote via HDMI-CEC. You can also install any other official or personal streaming solution you like with full features like HDR etc.

an x64 laptop that can run anything you want, including browser addons or os 'apps' if that's your jam, is clunky and 'not suitable' for "99%"? 99% of tv viewers wouldn't know how to sideload an alternate 'app' or that they even exist. and 'ugly'? the lid is always closed, it's tucked away. i can't even see it.

Right, I forgot the conversation is about PlayStation
