My "streaming device" of choice, ThinkCentre Tiny with Linux, always feels validated with news like these. It fits behind a TV, you can get it second hand for around $40 and depending on model it can even act as a retro game console as well.
I use the VacuumTube app (https://flathub.org/en/apps/rocks.shy.VacuumTube), which has ad block, sponsor block, and some more advanced settings! You can use GNOME with scaled up UI or KDE Bigscreen (recently resurrected) for the DE.
