I think one thing bad about watching YouTube on Apple TV u will see advertisement and it is quite often. If you directly cast YouTube video to your smart tv using YouTube app or your tv app. Totally no advertisement at all. And Apple TV does not allow adding to queue for YouTube. Meaning one time can only cast one video. Also while you are casting YouTube to your Apple TV, if you are using your phone at the same time, the sound of your games, your apps etc. will be sent to your tv and mix with YouTube video playback for the sound.

It is good if you want to mirror your content to tv from your Apple devices. however, if you purely want to cast YouTube videos to your tv, just cast using the YouTube app ok your phone or your tv app will do.

Advertisement good for content creator. Do not deprive them.
Nobody use Kodi now when Netflix is so cheap. You still live in cave?

i have no prob with advertisement. in fact, most youtubers care more about the likes, subscribers and notifications (bell icons).

prob is not about the advertisement, it is about the user experience. you can try it too.

1) cast video from youtube app on iphone to apple tv.
2) 2 to 3 mins later advertisement appear
3) after advertisement finished, home screen of apple tv show
4) that's it, never resume to the youtube where it stops, need to go to youtube app again, click play button.
5) after play button is clicked, it starts the video from begining.

constantly this happens regularly. mad.gif

importantly, the ads are just too ridiculuously frequent that every 2-3 mins one advertisement. the user experience is totally bad.

using youtube app on iphone, cast videos to tv, can even queue them and remove them from youtube app playlist anytime.
in between zero app shown. smile.gif and playback is mooth and hassle free.

this is the reason why i do not like to use apple tv to cast youtube video given the issues and limitation.

as a end-user, we care more about user experience than other things.

netflix has limited content, tried before and not using it anymore. it is not only about price but also content matters.

apple tv is actually only useful for doing airplay.

if mainly doing youtube etc. as long as ur tv comes with the app, you do not need apple tv.

the apple tv 4k and apple tv price are so closed. do not understand why apple still sell the HD version since no one will buy the HD since it still have the old A8 chip and it does not support 4k while the 4k one has A10 chip which will be much more future proof.
