  I think they mean no ads in the UI. There are still ads in the YouTube app since Google needs that revenue. Ads don’t take up approximately 50% of the home screen though like they do on a Roku TV.

    Ah, I didn’t even consider ads in the UI would be a thing. How disgusting

      Roku TV has been unbearable lately. There’s a whole row of ads before I even get to the physical inputs on the TV. Plus there is a full height ad on the right and a half height ad on the left.

        Confirm. Never seen something chatter on the network so much as well. I don’t know the model but i threw it on a physically separate wlan with no Internet and a pihole and holy jebus it’s almost as bad as the Google nest hubs.

    Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.
