You cannot. Jailbreak a fire stick
You side load applications to it and enable unknown sources.
Really wish those stupid YouTubers would stop saying that.
And no I'm not emailing you
That's not entirely true. If you have a really old firestick on a really old firmware in a drawer somewhere, there was a way to flash a custom Android build on them way back. That's long been patched out, though.
I rooted my fire stick with a piece of aluminum, you had to open it and bridge two points on its board to make a reserved memory area writable, and then run a script to root it. Have no idea about new models/firmware but XDA developers is a click away. It was the 4k model at the end of 2019, I think it's just one or two generation behind the current 4k stick
No kidding? Didn't think it was possible anymore. I have that exact model, gotta look into it – the homescreen ads drive me insane (and wifey won't let me just buy a Shield).

But no idea about the latest firmware support
True
My first fire tv i rooted and flashed a custom ROM on it
these idiots though believe jAilBrEAK is fucking installing Kodi and asking unofficial repos in the app
Most YouTubers aren't actually tech literate?! Say it ain't so! /s
