90% of my usage is on Mobile and through my Roku TV which both use specific apps to view YouTube. That’s my problem.
I can use revanced to change the app on my phone, or download another app like NewPipe and that would work for a bit. But the hoops I’m referring to are when the apps get banned and need to be updated to work again, AND the hoops I feel I’d need to go to for an ad blocker at the router level so my Roku TV won’t show ads through YouTube. (Though I should probably look into that anyway to get rid of ads on my TVs home screen).
It just feels like a hassle to me, and I’m paying $8/mo as a student anyway so it’s pretty cheap too.
On your tv. Go to settings, apps, see all apps, android tv home, then uninstall updates. Go to Google play store, your username icon, settings and disable auto-update apps. It’ll remove the crap at the top.
To remove specific things from the home screen, scroll down to the one you want to remove. Then hit the little circled minus button.
You can also install custom launchers if you really wanted to.
If you care, you can also “uninstall” uninstallable apps with adb. And there’s a program called adb app control(I think that’s the name) that’ll let you easily remove them. They also have an called adb tv: app manager on the playstore. You need to enable adb debugging. But the app tells you what to do. Just don’t uninstall anything you don’t recognise. There’ll be a lot of things that are really important.
As a signing off gift, smarttube is like revamced but for your tv. Find their github, download it, put it on your tv, either woth a USB or I use an app called send files to tv.

What you need Google to spoon feed you and wipe your ass too?
“Okay Google, initiate ass wiping”
Then we’d truly be living like Kings.
True, that process should be automated as priority 1. Training AI with asshole shapes.
Dayum. Rectum!
