How are you able to do this without ads? Are you using an Invidious frontend or something along those lines?

A designated Kids YouTube profile has no ads. They're not allowed to collect data on under 13s, legally, so targeted ads aren't allowed. They're a sub account attached to your parents account.

Smartube app on Android TV box, it also has built in sponsor block. I also removed all of the apps that the box came with, changed the front end and changed to an ad blocking DNS so that it's just the apps that I want on there and no ads anywhere.

I've heard about Smartube for an Invidious frontend, and it's really nice for sure. I know Roku has Playlet, and it's still on the Roku app ecosystem to this very day.
