I have a steam deck and I stream from it directly to the TV. I pirate all my Netflix shows
Well the problem is we only use the TV for streaming and my partner wants Netflix and other commercial stuff. Which means I would have to connect another internet device to the TV where the same problem happens again. Going exclusively Jellyfin or whatever is not a solution at this time

A Chromecast is not full of ads, but are they all just Google TV now? Is Google TV full of ads? I haven’t used one.
Could be an option to reset your TV, disconnect it from the Internet, and buy & use a Google TV device instead. The streaming devices seem to have far fewer ads and shit than TV manufacturers cram into their devices nowadays.
The hoops we have to jump through to minimise surveillance capitalism…

I have an old Chromecast but it’s not 4k. The new ones are enshittified as well as far as I know

Yeah… I have older 4k Roku devices luckily, they don’t have microphones and I can opt out of ads.

You can opt out of ads on a Roku? Last I checked (like 4 years ago) ads were anywhere in the OS.

May be different depending on regulation/country?
