Apple TV disappointment
I tried this app to see if it would block ads in the YT app on ATV. I was unsuccessful. After reading some more on their website, I'm still not sure it was designed to do that. I would appreciate a little more clarity from the developer.
I don't need it for any of my other devices so I can't speak to how it works there.
YMMV.

Didn’t work
Doesn’t do anything except change audio to a foreign language.
Useless on Apple TV
The app doesn’t block ads on YouTube or Netflix on Apple TV. Why? Not supposed to be a solid product?
Response from developer
Magic Lasso blocks all ads in Safari and many ads in other apps, via the App Ad Blocking feature, when used on an iPhone or iPad. On the Apple TV, you can see the number of ads and trackers that have been blocked by opening the Magic Lasso app on your Apple TV and viewing the Insights at the bottom of the Overview screen. This will show you the ads and trackers blocked every hour. You should see a significant number of ads and trackers blocked here, and we are continually improving the app to ensure it blocks more in the future. At the moment, it won't block YouTube or Netflix ads on the Apple TV, but we do have longer-term plans to improve ad blocking on the Apple TV so that it should be more effective on those apps too.
