Removing ads from Smart TV YouTube app

I don’t know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can’t install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don’t have any ads. However, the Youtube app...

Bronzie,

Yupp that works well with CCWGTV for now.

Probably a smoother experience than the built in OS too. Hoping for a new Shield with the upcomming Switch so I can leave yet another Google product behind

Bronzie,

Then spend your energy on stopping Russia. It has the same effect as Ukraine surrendering.

Your arguments fall flat if you disagree to that.

Bronzie,

So live in Russia, focus on Russia. Live anywhere else, focus on making Ukraine surrender. And you think that argument makes sense…?

So you’re either a loser Russian retard sitting in a troll factory, or you are the dumbest person walking this earth. Which is it mate?
I suspect the first one. If so: you better improve your writing before they send you to replace those that have been ripped to shreads already.

Bronzie,

While I agree with your point in general, I too «celebrate» russian soldiers being eliminated.
The pure, evil brutality their countrymen have shown the world in the last two years is beyond comprehension.

So I guess it’s more celebrating every Ukranian who gets to live because these men died, if that makes sense.

I’d much prefer they get to go home of course. I think most of us do.

Bronzie,

If they imperialistically invade Canada/Mexico and rape and torture both civilians and military alike, then of course I would.

And before you ask: I’d wish the same if my country ever did the same to one of our neighbors. My principles are the same regardless.

Did you expect a different answer?

Bronzie,

Please read snoogums response and reflect on the idiocy of your comment.
You are better than this mate.

Have a good weekend.

Bronzie,

Then tell us what Ukraine and the west should do.

If it is giving up and letting Russia seize control of the entire nation, then you I have fundamentally different world views.
If it is negotiating with Putin, we are again in disagreement. We don’t bow down to bullies. When we do, they end up taking our lunch money again and again.

So really: please tell us what the best alternative is.

Bronzie,

You’re not. It’s a stretch and then some.

Bronzie,

Brothers: A tale of two sons.

Only game that ever made me cry alone.

Bronzie,

It’s not that you can’t complain, but moreso that people are tired of reading about people getting ripped of over and over again.
It’s getting old when the solution is so glaringly obvious.

Alternatively focus your grievances towards the company. That has a better chance of making an impact in reducing the tainted waters.

So in short: you have a right to complain, but we have a right to tell you that you are a part of the problem if you pre-order or support companies continually doing this crap.

Bronzie,

Oh I agree with you wholeheartedly friend!
They don’t care because people keep buying their shit anyways, which is why many of us tell you to stop buying it and then we’ve gone full circle again.

I’m not recommending complaining to them because I think they will care. I do it because I it could have a greater impact than complaining here which has exactly zero impact.

Bronzie,

I don’t really think so.

If you adjust for inflation, historically, it’s very cheap.
If you compare it to movie tickets, which in essence is 2-3 hours of entertainment for $25, it’s the same story.
Some games can give you hundreds of hours for close to the same price.

This excludes games with monthly fees or predatory in-game systems.

Bronzie,

Our currency has taken a bit of a hit since covid, so I guess it’s more like $20 today.
210 NOK when I checked my local price for Dune 2 just now.

Add in some snacks and we’re way over $30, so hopefully my point still stands.

Bronzie,

If only there had been a game that you had played thousands of hours on and had high hopes for the sequel.

He’s not arguing against hoping for a better sequel. He’s telling people to stop pre-ordering games without knowing how good the game is going to be.

Also, you waited a decade to play a game you wanted to play? That’s a you problem.

Read his reply again. He waited 10 years for it to release and get reviewed before making an informed purchasing decision. He made a smart move.

Bronzie,

This is the part where you apologize for being rude and wrong and we all move on with our lives having learned something new.
No shame in that.

Happy weekend friend!

Bronzie,

Mint Cinamon.

«Everybody» gave me the same advice.

Good luck!

Bronzie,

Yeah I saved it for the future.
Really enjoyed both It Takes Two and Portal 2 with the missus.

Bronzie,

I don’t understand why they couldn’t keep pushing the 3060 until they were truly ready for a 4060 that’s better. You don’t have to release new products on every single segment every single time. Especially if they confuse the buyers of that segment.

I think that’s why: confusing those less “hardcore” into thinking 4060 is a massive leap from 3060. It’s pure corporate greed and annoying as hell.

Bronzie,

I’ve played all the Batman games so I can’t enter in good faith, but thanks for doing this and good luck to those who wish to win!

I’ll try to join for the Middle Earth games if I spot them in the future giveaways.

Bronzie,

Of course it is.
Them sending a copy of a game in the hopes the media outlet will write a favourable review is marketing 101.
It’s practically free marketing, so it’s the best kind even.

If the review came after launch from a purchased copy, then your argument would have had a leg to stand on mate.

Bronzie,

By your logic, if I release a drug not mentioning it will kill you while knowing it will, I am not guilty of false advertisement even if I send it out for free knowing this will be published.
Murder sure, but not false advertisement.

If a game is being sent out without a performance limiting software with a clear plan of introducing this for the retail version, I would argue it follows the actual definition.

Quote: «the crime or tort of publishing, broadcasting, or otherwise publicly distributing an advertisement that contains an untrue, misleading, or deceptive representation or statement which was made knowingly or recklessly and with the intent to promote the sale of property, goods, or services to the public».

It’s deceptive. There is no arguing it. You seem like a bright dude arguing a moot point in to deep to accept being wrong.

Bronzie,

Then I suggest you stop talking about rocket science until you gain the ability to see the world in a bit more of a nuance mate.

Have a great weekend!

Bronzie,

I fucking hate this shit with passion and purposely setup my PC without internet connected every damn time I format.

I once connected to WiFi during the setup and got stuck in the same place and I wanted to burn my house down.
