I use PlayLet for Roku, which syncs well using Chromecast protocol, and yeah, the front end on mobile is unhinged. I can't tell what is a game, an advertisement, a solicitation for locals near me, a money grab, a weird A/B tested image advertising a video with eyes larger as saucers and mouth agape like they are choking.
All in dark mode though, so that is nice.
YouTube on desktop with adblocking is usually fine despite Shorts being dumbly pushed.
I use NewPipe for mobile access, works okay
