I'm trying to watch a 5 hour Oblivion retrospective and it decides that what I really want to see is a 15 minute stream of Fortnite with no music or commentary because it's being played by a bot called C1B0T_YT. ?

> bot
I wonder if anyone's ever outsource gaming to India? Like you wanted to be a champion esports gamer but you didn't have time to play Fortnite 16 hours a day, so you just hire people in Bangalore to play for you for 50 cents an hour.

Install Ad Blocker Plus. I can't remember the last time I had to watch a YouTube advert.

You don't get adblock+ on a smart TV

Yes, and I presented you with a solution, which you then rejected (presumably because watching youtube on a computer as opposed to a TV is impossible?)

That's not a proper solution, that's like somebody complaining that traffic was busy and you've responded "just walk instead"

Useless

Leave this thread in shame

A very poor analogy - a computer is a far more sophisticated software platform than a smart TV. Do better.

> Useless
Fine, be like that.

This is what one gets for trying to help. Oh well, carry on limping along then.
