im looking to get an appletv, cause its basically the most privacy-friendly streaming box you can get (unless you make a linux box of course), but im not sure if you can use something like smarttube on an appletv. I can barely watch youtube with the ads its insane. I found three apps on github but idk if they're any good so here they are: SmartTube-IOS(https://github.com/say4n/SmartTube-iOS), yattee(https://github.com/yattee/yattee) and Unwatched(https://github.com/fer0n/Unwatched)

thank guy

Idk what your privacy concerns are, but an Android stick is a much more open platform allowing you to install whatever and avoid all the Google stuff

    Any plug-and-play Android TV device. This video has a good list of popular options, and following this guide will help reduce tracking.

    I'd recommend creating a new Google account for setup, and then basically never using it again. Forward emails to a trusted address so it doesn't auto-delete due to inactivity.
