Smart TVs have to pay homage to the sponsors. Without Amazon Prime, Netflix and Google investments we wouldn't be able to afford smart TV.
Fine, fuck all that garbage, sell me a dumb tv, and if I want the junk, ill buy a Shield, or a roku or whatever
Fuck "smart" TVs
Fwiw, I ain't mad at you, please don't take it that way. I just curse a lot
Oh no.... we'd pay an extra $100 for tvs and not have spyware.
Yeah, it's not about a hundred or another. It's more like it would cost double. Not sure ppl understood my point here. I don't have a smart TV myself precisely because of these mandatory sponsors and how they collect user data.
