      Interested in this for a parent, what does the “YT premium” experience offer on Apple TV if anyone that has it as a solution for that platform?

      What are the caveats to that service?

      With my setup I never see anything except user created in video ads, and even those are only before a plug-in chops them out if the video is minutes old.

          Thanks for the screenshot.

          Was curious if anyone sees this and has the service, do they feel it has value, and what if any details that make it less attractive than YT asserts.

          Thank you for the idea to look into that service!

          Been casually keeping my eye out for a solution and asking around , and have not seen that as a viable option to explor yet.

          Wish there was some way to “Force” YT through a brave browser on atv, as that’s how I consume Any YT, and it is a complete pleasure to use. Absolutely none of the annoyances or time sucks or forcing the user to interact to get Just the content desired.

          When I see the tiered layered ads required wait times, I can’t believe anyone utilized the service like that, and if there were a way to fix it, would love to know about it, as she is not tech savvy , and I don’t use atv so barely know what needs to be solved.

            I use this with the family plan which is $22.99 per month. Its good for up to 5 users, so especially good if you have a family or roommates (split cost), because everyone can use their login and have their own music playlists.

    Yattee or sideload a youtube app with sponsorblock and use airplay to the AppleTV.

    I still recommend Youtube Premium, but it’s nice to have the option to skip in video sponsor segments.

    The only way to do this is to use an iPad, iPhone or desktop mac which can use the Brave browser or similar which has effective adblocking against YouTube ads.

    You then need to use Screen Mirroring to display it on your Apple TV and view YouTube that way.
