      I do! One of my friends added me to his plan last year to watch football, and the only benefit I can see is the higher bitrates offered. The plain 1080p option without a plan looks like ass.

      Not defending the cost of youtube premium (I don’t even buy it, myself). It’s just a little extra thing I’ve noticed after the use of ublock.

      However, I think I have seen a Firefox extension to help with bitrates, recently…

      Many people use it on TVs or phones and tablets, not computers. Which makes ad blocking harder or impossible.

        Android tv has an app called smart tube next which blocks ads on yt. No idea about iOS though. Though not entirely convenient, you could use Orion browser with ublock origin installed

          Firetv it works. But can’t get it on Roku. But again, most people have no clue about that.

          Yes everything is a computer. However not everything can be run installed configured or used as a computer. Some of them are very limited devices.
