    There are tools that let you do what YT Premium provides for free unless you’re hooked on the music.

      Sadly I haven’t found a tool that works on smart TVs, so I just pay for it

            Yeah, if anybody figures out a solution for Roku… please tell me. I’m set everywhere except one Roku stick in my basement, hooked up to my projector. The best place to watch movies in the house, the only place with ads.

        There are tools for the music side as well

        RVX Music works quite well for me on Android

          Honestly, the service is worth it for me. I need the easiest process possible for my luddite wife and kindergartener’s Amazon fire tablet. I put my mom on the account too.

          But for everything else, yarrrrr.
