This also happens to me, using the Smarttube flatpak, I think that it’s a “feature” from the youtube tv original app, and it bleeds into Smarttube because what it does is faking being the original youtube tv app with some extra modifications.
Edit, I am using VacuumTube from flatpak, not Smarttube, but it’s the same concept.



They are aware of it, that’s why they are busy spending it.
