You could try Smart Tube which has built in adblock and sponsorblock and see if that works better on your android tv box

SmartTube works very well. The problem is, it requires a Youtube account to have subscriptions, playlists and the like. That's a hard no for me.

Fair enough, completely understandable

Shout out for Smart Tube, the best YT app on smart boxes/android TVs, never had any issues
