I’ve used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

    If you have an Android TV, just download an app called "SmartTube". I used to be subscribed to YT Premium but then I found that app and cancelled my membership. It automatically blocks all ads and also has SponsorBlock implemented which auto-skips sponsored segments, etc. It's super useful. Then on my phone I use YT Revanced which is essentially a modded version of the YT app which does practically the same thing as SmartTube.

      I love Newpipe on my Android TV and phone. Added benefit of not sending any user data to YouTube I just imports my subscriptions from my phone to the TV every month or so
