Ive been using adblockers, piped and other tools for so long that i dont even remember what the last time was when i saw a youtube ad.

Same... And if they ever successfully make it impossible to avoid, I'll just stop watching YouTube

Hard to do if you watch directly from your TV using some dongle and don't know or can't modify your router to block ads.

SmartTube is on AndroidTV

Kodi can be installed through the play store, you can transfer files over smb and ftp and move the apk using it.

You're welcome.

Excuses:

I use a Roku or Roku TV

Don't, buy a $25 Android TV box from walmart.

I use AppleTV

Don't, buy a $25 Android TV box from walmart.

FTP? SMB? Apk? What are these, words?!

These terms can be searched for and learned about.

Why not just use Kodi?

You're ahead of the game, find a plugin pack and enjoy
