Yes, I’m fully aware that the best way to have a streaming box is to run Linux on a Raspberry Pi, and if anyone has a guide for how to best set that up, connect to various streaming services, and allow casting from a phone then I’m very happy to check it out. However, I’ve heard Android TV boxes/sticks are still relatively customisable so I’d really just like something I can run SmartTubeNext on and cast YouTube to the TV without any ads. I’m not going to be putting much in the way of personal data on it so it’s obviously doesn’t need to be the most secure/hardened thing in the world, but I’d still rather avoid the dodgiest of boxes. Any recommendations for something cheap-ish and private-ish?

there are phones which support displayport over type c maybe something like that could work.
Just stay away from Chinese made Android Boxes. Linus did a good video covering those here
If you’re asking for a cheap Android TV box that is private, they do not exist, to my knowledge. Not enough people care I guess.
I’m just using a cheap mini PC and accessing services via the browser.
