Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.

This makes me so angry. I have a nice Sony TV that I paid a lot (for me) of money for in 2021. Since I bought it they’ve been seeking in more and more ads - when I bought was just when they started with the viewing “recommendations” (even though the things they recommend were often on services I didn’t subscribe to), then some of the recommendations started to be for Kia cars etc. and now just last week we got a fucking full screen, with volume, ad for a McFlurry when we turned it on!
I’ll be pulling my old NVIDIA shield out soon. I’m hoping there is an ad free android tv I can flash onto it and put the TV permanently on HDMI 1.
