This comes a month after YouTube Premium's price hike and the increase in adverts for free users.

I wish there was a way to block on set top box as well. Pi-Hole doesn't get it done for me.

If the box uses Android TV you can get SmartTube through a downloader app.

Blocks ads, shorts, has sponsorblock, can swap out thumbnails/titles to de-clickbait them, can limit stream codecs... SmartTube is a way better YouTube experience on the TV.
