These fucking televisions have less ram than my fucking 8 year old phone
At some point it's just better to factory reset this bitch and paste an RPI in the back with my own android TV so it can actually run with 8gb ram 256gb space

It's not that hard, the original author is just lazy or ignorant or both.
My smart tv is a mid ranged i5 from 2012.
Electricity must be cheap where you are. If you have to use an x86 platform, please use a modern one that is both vastly more powerful and adept at decoding video while also needing a tiny fraction as much power and producing next to no heat and noise.
that and never connect the TV to the internet, it'll nag you occasionally asking if you want to connect but that's easily cancelled out.
Luckily the YouTube app gets way worse with each update. Mine now tries to dark pattern you into signing in, and now features extra ads when you pause a video.
I'm switching to sideloaded SmartTube on a GoogleTV with Chromecast dongle.
I've been using smart tube on my fireTV for about 6 months now and it's amazing. No ads, so many playback options that YouTube doesn't offer, built in sponsor block is a godsend.
