Duh. I guess there's a third of those weirdos buying Apple.

Not even close to the experience.

Ublock is simply removing adds & more things you might want to be gone and Revanced is literally the YT client with many of the PrEmIuM features for free. But sure, pay up and get milked if you're into that sort of thing.

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?
I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I’m into “that sort of thing” (paying for people’s work).

How would I know? I don't have a TV for well over a decade now and it isn't my responsibility to teach you how to use your hardware and software.
And please, you're robbing YT, not the content creators, which I don't care about nowadays either since YouTube became WhoreTube. It's all about cash and milking people with low effort clickbait garbage content. If you feel you have to pay for that then that's on you but I've been distancing myself more and more from the platform for how shit it and its content became.

One of those is ublock, literally the same experience minus the ads. How is that not close to the same experience? Do you miss the ads?

How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don’t have admin rights? What if it’s out of date and the ads play anyway?
For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don’t have to play cat and mouse.

How expensive are your Starbucks coffees? O.o
If you want a TV solution, look at iSponsorBlock, not as seamless but much improved. And free.
You don’t need admin rights, and it auto updates.
I have premium, but only because I can get it ridiculously cheap by using a VPN. I would never pay current asking price for premium, especially when they increased the price twice in a one year period.

I actually have grayjay on my phone (and paid for it). I don’t mind paying for stuff I use.
I’ve also used revances, and smarttube tv. But as I said right now the value is still “ok” but reaching it’s limit for sure.
