A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I took the L and started paying for YT Premium since you can't really get rid of ads on LG TV otherwise
Did it with a bit of malicious compliance and opted for Family plan using argentinian VPN, totaling at less than $3 a month (and constantly dropping) for 5 people.
PiHole, Adguard Home and the like can't block ads on smart TVs? Or is it something like the TV refusing to start if it contacts the ad server and doesn't get a response?
They can block other ads, but they can't block YouTube ads since YouTube ads come from the same domains as the videos.
