It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

How do I install piped into my Roku?

Simple. Do not use Roku. If you use a Roku, you should not really worry about Youtube, as Roku is no better and probably still just sells to Google. If you have no other choice, then you may access a piped server over it's web interface. This one is from a guy named kavin. Other than that, I am not really sure if there is a client for Roku.
