  Are you?
  Modern “Televisions” are pretty much smartphones with a big ass screen connected to them, and as such often requires an internet connection and some form of a login to use, even if you’re hardwired directly to it.

  Modern tvs aren’t just a screen that displays the data you send it, they’re a standalone ad serving machine

    So, don’t you think watching on good quality “big ass screen” is nicer?

      Is it worth giving up your data for a bigger screen?

        You can just never connect it to the Internet in the first place and only use the HDMI ports. Using a linux media pc running Kodi or whatever. But most people don’t know or care to do this.

        Also the larger state actors have been hijacking televisions as well. However the attack still required an initial network logon.

        What data are you giving up? That you prefer “Better call Saul” to “Breaking Bad”?

  Yes, but don’t ask me to share cake recipes. I’m not in the mood.
