You are likely stuck with it, given that a "smart tv" controls you,

Consider downloading the items you want to watch from youtube

Pro tip! If you want to liberate yourself from your smart-TV, go and get yourself a Radxa Zero and run Kodi on it.
That way you can turn off all the smarts on the TV, and just view the stuff you want to view through the Radxa single board computer.
