I get the concern with bloatwear but it’s never been a concern for me with a TV. I simply use Roku and it’s functioned extremely well. I also don’t connect my TV to the internet for the most part. It’s literally as simple as that. It’s not like my TV is running out of storage.
This is for sure the final nail, it’s going to collapse just like Facebook and Google did after all that ad stuff. Profiting off a user data is clearly a failed business model and we see that time and time again.
