YouTube Premium reached 50 Million subscribers in 2021, so they're doing pretty well: https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/50-million/

I wonder how many subscribers watch YouTube on a smart TV? That's solely the reason I subscribe myself as I can't install an ad blocker there and as far as I know things like pi-hole cant block ads in Smart TV streams either.

On Android TV there's SmartTubeNext, not sure about anything else, it's funny that Google's platform is the one that's easiest to block their ads on
