If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?

That’s not the case (at least in Germany). Being brain dead does not replace the conscious decision on when to disable life support.

And whoever is way up his ass, is also a racist climate change denier. (Or has that changed in the last decade or so that I wouldn’t watch these shows?)

Nah, that’s not exclusively an AfD thing. That’s often boomer mentality. Many are out of touch with the rules for political correctness/decency nowadays and instead of trying to adapt, many try to make others stagnate as well.

Termination without notice in Germany? That’s a major challenge even in situations that warrant it.

That’s coherent. Otherwise it wasn’t bad.
