A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I took the L and started paying for YT Premium since you can't really get rid of ads on LG TV otherwise
Did it with a bit of malicious compliance and opted for Family plan using argentinian VPN, totaling at less than $3 a month (and constantly dropping) for 5 people.
If you can sideload Android apps SmartTubeNext is a great option https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
LG TVs are neither Android TV nor Google TV OS, so it's a no-go here
For the cost of 3 months of YouTube Premium, you can buy a $20 Onn 4k box that runs near stock Google TV and then have a much better experience with SmartTube Next.
