    I need to have a serious talk about this with my girlfriend. I didn’t realize she was paying so much for our YT Premium plan.

    These prices are getting ridiculous.

      What are you guys getting for that money? I honestly don’t know. I just use either an ad blocker or the newpipe app.

          I use safari with adguard + sponsor block which lets me airplay videos to the TV. I don’t even have the YouTube app installed. No need to try and set up smarttubenext or whatever on the TV.

            I guess you need an Apple TV for that as well?

            Airplay seems pretty useless to me overall as I don’t have anything it seems to want to connect with. Sadly.

              My TV has airplay support built into it so I haven’t needed to get an Apple TV. But you do need an Apple device to use Airplay.

                Yeah have lots of apple devices but never a TV with airplay. They all seem to have Chromecast where I live.

                Guess I’m buying the wrong TVs :)

                  What brand do you have? If they have Android TV they seem to usually have airplay support too, but you need to go into settings and then get your Apple device paired with the TV to get airplay to start working.

                    Right now just a cheep Aldi TV, but am considering upgrading my PS4 (PS5 slim on the horizon?) and might splurge on a good TV to match. Will be sure to check out the airplay options.

                    We push a lot of content up to our TV via Chromecast. But AirPlay would be more convenient.
