I also cannot see any button whatsoever to uninstall the bundled YouTube app from the TV, which prevents the installation of youtube-webos. I will now be inspecting a new way to remove the original app.
Yep, I think now the only way to get the vanilla app uninstalled would be by downgrading the TV's software and firmware and then following the traditional ways. What do you think, @mariotaku and @fire332 ?

Idk how it fixed but I reinstalled the normal YouTube for a couple days and then went to try it again and now it works just fine I just had to make sure the original YouTube app was deleted also

I am using a workaround that unfortunately lacks some features, but it is definitely usable. Install the Kodi app the way you prefer (probably the one you used to install youtube-webos) and download the YouTube add-on from the bundled repositories. Then, upgrade it to one of the latest beta releases to bypass the "Sign in again to confirm you're not a robot" error. I can help if you find some hindrance, once I myself have faced a few until managing to get really going.

This is not true.

I'm not seeing any issue with YTAF here.

Did you update your testing webOS system within the last three weeks? I started to struggle only after updating my TV.

I haven't updated or anything Ina while unless it auto did it but I can just go into the lg content store and uninstall it and then reinstall the modded one
