Does a Roku device have more commercials on a YouTube video than the You Tube app on other platforms like the Samsung smart TV YouTube app?

Hi, @wedniaa2 

Thanks for the question!

Commercials and ads on a specific streaming app are commonly managed by the channel provider. 

For further information, you can contact YouTube's support directly and inquire further about your concern. They'll be able to provide you with details to answer your question. 

To contact them, refer to YouTube Support | Help

We hope this helps, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Thanks,
The Roku Community Team.

@wedniaa2 Youtube controls what content, including ads, is displayed on their apps.  Roku has no control on what content a third-party app shows on their channels.  How the ads work on Youtube would be basically the same across all platforms.
