Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf

I've gone back to pirating everything. I can afford to pay for all the services, it's just the service and content quality has gotten so bad that it's just not worth it. I DO pay for content from other markets (French, Israeli, and Japanese), just not mine.

It's just like vehicles. There isn't a single vehicle sold in my market that I would pay anything for (ok, maybe the Ford Maverick). There's a bunch in other markets (Europe, South America, Asia), just not mine.

If the content is so bad, then why the need to pirate it?

I stick to old stuf from the 1930s to 1990s

I will say the Criterion Channel is excellent and I do subscribe to them.

OP said content quality so I'm assuming the streaming is shittier quality than, for example, BluRay quality you might get from torrenting.
