    I mean there are ways, like pihole, but I like the simple option of a really long hdmi cable that I use to plug my computer into the TV, so I never have to use any of the shitty built in TV apps.

    Edit: not pihole, apparently.

      I would love to run a long hdmi cable from my pc to my tv, but I have rabbits and they like the spicy hay

        So I was watching Forrest Gump and he’s running through the jungles of Viet Nam. All of a sudden he stops running. And I know that’s not right because he hasn’t rescued “him” yet.

        Turns out my jerk face rabbit chewed through the Ethernet cable.

        Rabbits do love that spicy hay.

        What, it works for me? Put on an 8 hour video while doing chores and had ads every 5 minutes. Filled with rage I installed pihole and no more ads.

          I’m curious how. Maybe a different region? I don’t have Pihole anymore but it didn’t use to do anything for me for YouTube. Luckily we have uBlock.

            Maybe? My region is Sweden. I really haven’t had any ads on YouTube since installing pihole. “Works on my machine”
