I have a junk tablet, wifi, and around 5 bucks to spend. I need some ad free clean streaming or playlists I can stream for 12 or so hours a day.

Is it possible? I don't think any of the big companies have a one time buy in, and If they do I doubt it's anywhere near 5 bucks.
I have to have the ability to restrict it to only clean music and ads.
I do not have an answer allowed by this community, but yes it's possible.

If you'd like to stream music from YouTube:
NewPipe (Lightweight YouTube frontend) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/
Open source YouTube client without the ads
This seems awesome. Totally going to have to try it out. Youtube is the best legal solution I could find, but the diffrence in volume between songs makes for a rough listening environment.
This has been around for some 20 years and it's still amazing. <3
I sleep to Drone Zone
I'll check it out soon!
Check out wfmu.org, its a great eclectic radio station (if you dont like what theyre playing, check back in an hour and it will probably be wildly different). Zero ads unless you count the bi-annual pledge drives. Theres a fan-made Android app called "woofmoo"
Also check out: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv. I wouldnt call that completely ad free, but all ads are baked into the stream, so theyre not personalized or tracked. Basically like commercials on traditional over the air tv.
Those both sound like good recommendations, are they pg? As in clean, no bad words, sexual themes, drugs, etc?
Wfmu is a real radio station based in new jersey, so it will be as "clean" as any radio station. Im sure ive heard references to smoking weed, and some songs may be sexual in nature. But all regular FCC rules regarding radio content is followed.
The ip-tv link is a collection of rtmp web streams. There are specific adult channels up there. There's also like pbs kids channels on there. You'll have to use your best judgement.
Another thing I forgot to mention, you may want to check out f-droid.org. it is an open source alternative to the google play store. You should be able to find alternatives to music streaming apps that will not have trackers and ads. Each app's page will detail any potential privacy concerns, such as interfacing with closed source web services, or ads.
How junk is the tablet? Is the OS new enough that you can set the private DNS to dns.adguard.com? If you can do that, Pandora can be ad-free.
These are things I know nothing about, but I'm very happy you've given me something else to learn today. I've only ever used adblock extensions I have no clue about all of that. Gonna be a fun night.
mullvad also has Adblock dns : base.dns.mullvad.net
For radio, you might try Transistor or VLC.
Great choices, my local stations are not fantastic and I would love some variety. I phrased my question in a bad way, I actually do have radio through a receiver, and have a couple radio apps in my back pocket just in case I can't find something without ads. Thank you so much.
music: spotube video: Nebula (it's 5 Buck's exactly per month) radio: radio garden on the estonian station of relax loodus (loodus translates into nature)
