You have to put your LG TV into "dev mode" so that you can sideload a modified YouTube APK. The catch is you have to refresh the dev mode once every 1000 hours, but there's also a script that can automate that from the TV itself.

I think there was a thread title somewhere that joked "can't wait to have to jailbreak my TV" but we're kinda there already.

And of course, for Android phones, you should install "NewPipe SponsorBlock", which skips all YouTube ads, blocks YouTube from doing tracking or algorithms on you, skips sponsored sections, and lets you play videos and music in the background, negating the need for YT premium: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases
