Well they are still fucking us but can't replace the content... Yet

But you can access the content without going to their site, with places like Invidious, and apps like NewPipe and Tubular.

If you have a way of installing android apps from the web on your TV, Smart Tube Next is very good. Sponsor Block is integrated if you want to use it, but I mostly am just glad it doesn't serve ads.

Ah yes, tvs. I don't watch enough yt to want to watch it on tv, so I often forget about that. You're right, no easy answers there right now. Certainly there are ways, but all sacrifice some convenience. Hopefully this will change soon.
