I wonder how many that will impact though. Are there really a large group of people that use the OS on their smart tv over and device connected to it? It's been years now but all I remember is TV brands choosing not to update their apps, bricking the channels after only a little bit of time. I figured by now, most everyone is displaying Youtube on their tv from another device that can block ads and anti-feature.

    Believe it or not, I still use it on Roku. When this TV dies I’m definitely getting a dumb TV and hooking up an HTPC or something, but for now the YouTube app on Roku works fine for the times we need it.

    Edit: looks like it’s just adding an ‘ask’ button so sounds simple enough to ignore like all the other crap they shove in there.
