They're going to have to do something about uBlock Origin blocking youtube video ads flawlessly before this ever takes off imho. I installed uBlock a few weeks ago and only recently realized I haven't seen a single youtube video ad since then.

Not entirely. There are platforms such as Google TV that can't block ads.

  My chromecast doesn't block ads, i'll pay for the service specifically for this

    Instead of paying $9.99 monthly (forever) why not just buy one of those "TV on a stick" devices [0] (a one time purchase) and run a web browser+uBlock? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-on-a-stick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-on-a-stick

      Because the experience and usability of a chromecast is much MUCH better than what you are suggesting.

  The Google TV program has been discontinued.

    Android TV, sorry. It's built into my tv. The top discussion in this thread is about their poor branding. Chromecast? Google Cast? Android TV? Nexus Player? Google TV? What is it? I have Android TV and even I'm confused.

I install adblock because ads annoy me. It doesn't mean I don't want to pay for services. I think I will be subcribing to this despite the fact that I've basically never seen an ad on youtube.

Been using this for years with a lot of the third party lists. It's the best.
