That’s the way everything is going. There are ways to protect yourself like running a pihole, but most people cannot do that themselves.

On my LG TV I have tried from time to time to switch to UK region (instead of Norway) to try to get more functionality. I did notice that when my region is Norway, I actually get an option to disable ads, and that option did not seem to exist for the UK region.

Possibly because ad laws are stricter in Norway?

I wonder how long it will be for the subscription fatigue to reach the tipping point where companies face the reality they can't all have successful subscription services.

Fuck this shit. Are there any major brand TBs that you can put a different OS on? I remember one for Apple TV, but don’t know about hacking “””smart””” TVs

I’ve never connected my LG TV to the network and never will. It’s a display and nothing more for my media center PC and gaming consoles. This right here is precisely why that is.
