Lol paying $12 a month just for no ads on youtube.

That's more than some subscription services with content.
Infinite amount of underground music (electronic \ remixes \ mixes) ... no need to shit on youtube because some people pay for it, do you pay for any streaming services?

They have no content, yet you still pay for them.. and if you dont, well shame on you for pirating then.

If someone wants to show support and subscribe to youtube, who are you to say what they are allowed to do with their money. I am sure you have made some really actual stupid purchases with your money. We all have.

You can watch ad free with adblock, so good job letting them win.

I have Adblock, it only works on Safari. Pretty useless for both the YouTube app on both phone and an Apple TV. Do the others work on the app version for either?

Anyone know of a current method for smart TVs and console systems?

My old ways doesn't seem to take anymore.

Like with setting up a private DNS with Xbox, it just gets completely ignored which I don't understand.

I mainly use YouTube on my tv so Premium is worth it to me, however I know its just a matter of time before theres a Premium+ (for like $20 a month) with no ads and regular Premium with limited ads.

This. If you don't know CPR, searching for videos is a waste of time even if you don't have ads.
The first result is a three hour video on CPR. Most of the video, the creator talks about his personal issues.

Buy an android TV and sideload the few android solutions I'm quite certain have been already posted. There are cheap boxes around 50 to 70 bucks. If that won't do check if you can install android apps on your TV. Or check pi hole. Last I did you need a device running Linux and a modifyable router to run a cfw. So yeah, easiest solution is buy an android box per TV and don't use a console

But again, that's a web browser. I pay like $36 a year for YouTube Premium since I got the family plan from Turkey so it's $12 per person for the number using it and I get no ads on my laptop, in my web browser on my phone, on the app on my phone, the apps on my consoles or my Apple TV. I don't need multiple ad blockers on multiple devices or have to AirPlay my phone to my TV to have ad free. If someone wants to argue that it's crazy to pay the US rate for Premium (which I think was like $30 a month for the family plan) when adblockers exist, I definitely agree, but there are a bunch of options out there for Premium if you have a VPN to sign up.

With Hulu, I use Ublock Origin on Chrome.

There's a quick black screen with a loading bar that shows very briefly then goes straight to content.

No additional loading screens afterwards. I suppose I can just cast that to the television.

I tried the Edge browser on my Xbox with one of their predefined DNS settings.

It shows an ad timer that doesn't count down along with a black screen.

Finally times out with a full screen error message.

Think I'm going to try PiHole later today. I've got an extra Raspberry Pi sitting around here at home.

I could even then play my Steam games in bed. :D

I would imagine that jailbroken televisions are going to be an upward trend in the near future, if not already.

I keep getting three-minute ads (thankfully skippable) from odd companies claiming some miracle product that "billion-dollar companies don't want you to know about" or fitness videos that talk about one of seven foods listed that kills libido in men but won't reveal the answer unless I go to their link, going as far as telling me to stop watching the video I'm watching.

I'm like, "I just want to watch Lost fight people with a bloody torch, shovel off with this crap!".

If you're still having issues, try this post on Reddit:

More speciffically, the stickied mod post. I would tag you but I guess you have that setting blocked.

For a small fee, you too, can enjoy an ad-free experience.

The really weird part is demonizing people for spending money on a service you don't want to spend money on.
