I am loving these stations and put my mum onto it she had stopped listening to radio 2. They also have an app called Testless for the over 50’s that’s good as well.Best radio for us geriatrics

Not Youtube, but I think Radio might be a good add on, I listen very rarely to R2 nowadays, Ken Bruce if I'm in the car, all the good ones have either moved or been cancelled, drive time with those two scatty women is a pain even Liz can't stand that much wetness, When I drove all day and night it was the only station I had on, save maybe R4 for the Archers, but even that got dumbed down so bad it was impossible to listen too, BBC have screwed up some of the best Radio & TV channels in the world with all this included nonsense and the others are following suit.
Shame Boom is also full of adverts, which kills it for me, they are so off-putting when driving and you are forced to listen to the same crap every few records and people around me think I'm nuts shouting at the radio.

I forgot about him.
He does make good money & over 1m subscribers but he makes really good videos, he does commissions for the likes of Google and Ebay too.

My favourite is Cruising the cut. He never did much cruising and has now sold the boat, but the videos are really well made. There’s also a campervanning channel.

Just a thought...
I'm on a laptop, so do have adblock, but I also have pihole which could sit ahead of your firestick. Please do check though, because I've no idea which one, or both, mean I can watch ad free.

I assumed pihole on a firestick would be a 'sideloaded' app?

They all have, the shipwrights that have worked on the project have been amazing and they are both young and old. Its so refreshing to see that traditional craftmanship is still going strong and I suspect thanks to this project will thrive.
I know that Leo continued to work through Covid and post videos which is where most of his support has come from but to see people volunteering their time on the project was inspiring. Well worth watching from the beginning.

No idea sorry, mine is on a raspberry pi connected to my network. The router has the pi as the dns server so all traffic goes though it. Requests for adverts are just ignored....

Ah ok, the quotes made sense of it 
I am subscribed to his channel already but don't watch it much as he takes a long time to make a point I feel.

Not that keen on look what we can do with your donations as a rule, but some are good, I'll give that one a coat of looking at.

I have been using this alternative YouTube app on my fire sticks for ages.
I got totally sick to death of the constantly repeated inane irrelevant adverts plus this tool also strips out intros and the sponsored BS and lies sections.
The sponsor block part of the tool is available as a separate chrome add in as well so I also use it on my PC.
