This is especially useful if they are streaming from a smart TV or media stick.
Is it the most privacy-friendly? No. You're giving up a little bit of that for convenience and lower maintenance. IMO for my threat model, it's worth it.
And you're complaining about this while using the free tier of a private service that doesn't sell your data? If I were on the free tier I'd trade a signature and blockable pop-ups (uBO) for not being the product.
