Easier solution: don't buy an apple tv

Too bad most other streaming boxes suck ass and are full of ads. Begging Android TV manufacturers to use a decent SoC for once.

the apple addiction is too strong

Alternative solution: pay for YouTube premium.

You mean feed the investors of the company that makes tons of money by exploiting users private life? Or the one that runs false political propaganda in unskippable ads? (No idea about US elections, this is a much smaller country that I know).

Thanks but no.

You could try avoiding them altogether then.

If you're not ignorant then you too know that's not how it works. There's too much content on youtube that you can't find anywhere else, and entertainment is only a small part of it.

Or when I next complain about schools forcing kids to use google classroom, will you come and say that I should put my children to expensive private schools that don't do it (yet)?

I’m not your mother, you’re welcome to be as hypocritical as you like dude.

Suggesting a non-piracy option or providing links to non-piracy options is a violation of the community rules and guidelines.

"block YouTube ads using a flaw in the Google Protocol Buffer"... until google fixes it, that is.

Still, super cool finding!
