I would love to but I mainly watch YouTube and other video content on my living room TV. That's probably a barrier for a lot of us.
This is it for me. Easier to get YouTube family thing and now my family doesn’t have ads and doesn’t have to root a phone to install the other apps. If it was just me, sure. I have another 4 people in my life that are hard work when it comes to tech and I have other things to do with my time.
I use Newpipe on an Nvidia shield in my living room.
If you have some kind of Android TV device you can probably install SmartTube to have no ads and sponsorblock: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
Or Playlet on Roku.
